Aki Riihilahti grabbed a goal in Finland's 2-1 home victory over Latvia in a friendly on Wednesday night.

Southampton's Marian Pahars put Latvia in front in the 39th minute after a good move involving Andrejs Rubins and Imant Bleydelis.

Then Riihilahti levelled for Finland in the second half as he headed past team-mate Alex Kolinko in goal for his third international strike.

Then with just seven minutes to go, Finland's Shefki Kuqi came on as a substitute and got the winning goal.

The Sheffield Wednesday man headed in a Jari Litmanen corner following a Kolinko fumble to seal the victory for the hosts.
