The winning goal of the Euro 2016 final was scored by a substitute in extra time - the culmination of an extraordinary life story.
Eder Lopes, 28, scored for Portugal against France but was born in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and grew up in a care home.
Many were surprised at his winning contribution - not least Portugal's coach Fernando Santos.
After the match he gave this back-handed compliment: "The ugly duckling went and scored. Now he's a beautiful swan".
