It was but a brief cameo but Alfredo Morelos always seems to make his mark on a game.
The Rangers striker won his second cap for Colombia on Friday as he came on as an 87th-minute substitute in the 1-0 win over Japan.
Morelos replaced James Rodriguez and was given little time to impress with the friendly clash drawing to a close.
But the 22-year-old was denied an assist by the width of the post after picking out Luis Fernando Diaz.
He also found time to nutmeg an opponent in a display that still managed to catch the eye of the Colombian media.
Miguel Angel Prieto Perez wrote in AS: "Just a few minutes for the Rangers striker who came on for James. Precise passes - like that for Diaz who then struck the post - and a fantastic nutmeg."
Next up for Colombia is another friendly encounter, this time against South Korea as new boss Carlos Queiroz eases himself into the role.
The former Manchester United coach hailed Morelos as the "future of football in Colombia" and insisted he wanted to see the frontman in action over the two fixtures.
Considering he was brought on with only minutes remaining against Japan, Morelos will hope for an extended run-out against the Koreans on Tuesday.
Steven Gerrard, however, will simply pray his star man returns fit to face Celtic on March 31.
