Teemu Tainio kept Finland in the hunt for a spot in the European Championship by scoring the winning goal on Wednesday in a 2-1 victory over Kazakhstan.
The Tottenham midfielder scored through a group players after a corner kick in the 59th minute.
Finland first took the lead in the 13th minute when Alexei Eremenko Jr., the most influential offensive player in the game, chipped the goalkeeper.
Kazakhstan came back when Dimitriy Byakov timed his jump perfectly to head the ball into an empty net in the 23rd, beating Finland goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen in the air.
Finland had a large amount of ball possession, but Kazakhstan goalkeeper David Loriya played well, especially after the interval.
Finland now has 17 points from nine games in Group A, two behind Poland.
