Miguel Almiron scored the only goal of the match as Paraguay recorded a 1-0 win over Bulgaria in Thursday night’s international friendly in Sofia.
And it was a special moment for the 5 ft 9 attacker with it being his first international goal.
The 25-year-old scored 22 times in 70 appearances for Atlanta United but is still waiting to find the back of the net for Newcastle United.
Indeed, it is now 22 games and counting without a club goal, or even an assist for that matter, with the South American struggling to produce any end product.
However, finding the back of the net for his country is bound to have improved his confidence.
And as expected, a number of Newcastle fans were delighted to learn what had happened.
Some now feel that Almiron will kick on in the coming weeks – Newcastle’s next Premier League clash is against Aston Villa on November 25 following the international break.
