Irish striker Stephanie Roche has been beaten to the FIFA Puska's goal of the year award.
Colombia's James Rodriguez has taken the title for his stunning strike in the World Cup last-16 against Uruguay at the Maracana.
Roche received the second highest number of votes - 33% of the total of 3.3 million - with Robin van Persie third.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Tourism and Sport has congratulated Stephanie on being shortlisted for the award in Zurich this evening.
Michael Ring says the publicity that it has generated for the profile of the WomenÂ’s National League and Irish womenÂ’s sport is very welcome.
Afterwards Stephanie tweeted: "Very Proud to receive 1.1million votes. Congrats to James. A fantastic experience & thanks to everyone (across the world) for your support!"
Meanwhile Paddy Power are refunding all losing bets placed on Stephanie Roche to win the Puskas Award.
The refund will cost the bookmaker over 12,000 euro.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power said they genuinely felt that Stephanie's was the best goal - and that it's only fair to refund their patriotic punters' hard earned cash.
