Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki impacted the world forever on Tuesday by turning into Finland's record goalscorer with two objectives against Kazakhstan in World Cup qualifying.
Sitting second in the outline with 31 objectives in front of the match, Pukki showed his standard executioner intuition before objective to net twice at the Astana Arena and overwhelm Huuhkajat legend Jari Litmanen to take best position all alone.
His initially was vintage Pukki - with little space in the six-yard region his first touch removed the ball from his marker and his second saw him jab the ball past the Kazakhstan goalkeeper.
That objective equalled the record, and he profited by a goalkeeping mistake to break it. A loud Urho Nissila strike was bobbled by Igor Shatskiy and Pukki cut home to make Finnish football history.
The objectives were sufficient for Finland to secure the three focuses and lift their odds of meeting all requirements for the following year's World Cup in Qatar. With two games to go in Group D, Finland are third, level on focuses with Ukraine who possess second spot and a spot in the end of the season games.
Pukki was subbed on 78 minutes and will presently get back to Norwich to get ready for City's match with Brighton on Saturday.
