It just had to be her, didn't it?
Wales Women have scored their first-ever goal at a major tournament and it was none other than Jess Fishlock who got the final touch.
Rhian Wilkinson's side stumbled behind in the opening 10 minutes against France, but it took less than 10 minutes for the scoreline to be level once again.
A fantastic team move started with Ceri Holland running in behind and in the midst of a goalmouth scramble, Fishlock was able to connect and send the ball into the back of the net.
Despite it being flagged for an initial offside, the goal eventually stood after a VAR check and Fishlock became the oldest player to score in Women's EURO history at 38 years and 176 days.
Whether Wales go on to take a point against France - or even go one step further, remains to be seen - but they have made history in St. Gallen.
