Northern Ireland recorded a remarkable 2-0 victory over Slovakia at Windsor Park on Friday evening.
It leaves Michael O'Neill's side in a remarkable position - they are now level on six points with both Germany and their opponents tonight after just three matches, at the top of World Cup qualifying Group A.
The Green and White Army were in full voice as they watched their team deliver a thoroughly deserved victory on Friday night.
An unfortunate own goal from Patrik Hrosovsky got things rolling in the first half, before Trai Hume sealed the deal with his first-ever international goal late on.

The result sets up what promises to be an electric atmosphere when Germany visit Belfast on Monday night.
The home side took control from the start, with Conor Bradley and Ethan Galbraith combining brilliantly down the right. Their neat passing move ended with Galbraith's cross being deflected into his own net by Hrosovsky after 18 minutes.

Northern Ireland kept pushing forward, and Jamie Reid came close to making it two before half-time, blazing over from six yards out. He would later have a goal ruled out for offside.
The visitors had to wait until the 52nd minute for their first proper chance when Bailey Peacock-Farrell pushed away Matus Bero's header.
The moment that sealed the win came nine minutes from time when Hume produced something special. The Sunderland defender volleyed home first-time after Martin Dubravka could only palm the ball into his path.

"Bradley was the best player on the pitch without a doubt," Hume told the BBC afterwards. "First half he was outstanding and second half was outstanding and that's what you expect from someone like him."
The Liverpool full-back was everywhere, creating chances and driving his team forward throughout. His performance perfectly captured the energy and determination that ran through O'Neill's side on a memorable night in Belfast.
It is quite a turnaround for Northern Ireland, who lost their opening match but have bounced back superbly.

They will need all that momentum when the four-time World Cup winners come to town on Monday night.

Northern Ireland have lost their last ten meetings against the Germans, including last month's defeat in Cologne.
But with Windsor Park rocking and the team flying high, anything could happen. Meanwhile, Slovakia face Luxembourg at home on Monday, meaning the group could look very different by Tuesday morning.
