EUCLIDES CABRAL scored a debut goal with his first touch of the game and declared: 'It's what dreams are made of'.
And with just seven league matches to go, the Portuguese ace has vowed to leave his mark at Shelbourne by driving the club into Europe next season.
Damien Duff's Reds are on a charge towards the top three, sitting just four points off thirdplaced St Pat's who they beat 2-1 on Friday.
Cabral only signed for Shels on Wednesday night and the wingback came off the bench in the 80th minute and equalised within a matter of seconds.
He scored from close range to leave 10-men Saints reeling before then earning the corner from which Paddy Barrett (inset) headed home a stunning 90th minute winner.
Cabral, 24, is from Lisbon and a product of Sporting Lisbon's famous academy but spent much of his career in Switzerland with Grasshoppers and St Gallen.
