Marek Hamsik produced a superb performance to inspire Slovakia to a 2-1 Euro 2016 win over Russia.
The Napoli star scored one and set up another for Vladimir Weiss at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, to give his country their maiden European Championship victory following a 2-1 loss to Wales in their Group B opener.
Hamsik found the net with a stunning strike on the stroke of half-time to give Slovakia a 2-0 lead, 23 minutes after playing provider for Weiss.
Weiss had took advantage of an outstanding long ball from Hamsik, beating a pair of Russia defenders and thumping Slovakia into the lead.
Denis Glushakov got one back for Russia with 10 minutes to go with a well-placed header but they were unable to complete the comeback despite a heavy spell of late pressure.
Slovakia now have three points, while Russia remain with one from their draw with England. The latter will meet with Wales tomorrow.
