A fixture in the international calendar, encounters between Ukraine and Northern Ireland inevitably resurrect memories for supporters.
Decades have elapsed since that pivotal moment in Lyon during the Euro 2016 campaign.
Michael O'Neill, who managed the side from the bench at that time, declined to dwell on past events.
Veteran campaigners Josh Magennis and Paddy McNair represent experienced figures within a youthful squad structure.
Steven Davis, previously the team captain, now serves as a principal member of O'Neill's coaching staff.
Current roster members Ceadach O'Neill and Braiden Graham were merely eight years old during that historic match.
Although Ukraine lacks individual brilliance compared to other League B2 nations, O'Neill recognises their capacity to cause disruption.
Specific incidents from the France tournament include hail stopping play, a header by Gareth McAuley, Niall McGinn's celebratory run and repeated performances of 'Will Grigg's on fire'.
Even seasoned players such as Trai Hume, Shea Charles, Isaac Price and Brodie Spencer were still in their early education years at that period.
The squad's return to the second tier of the Nations League has yielded positive results so far.
Shea Charles netted a ninety-ninth minute goal against Georgia before the side secured a home draw with Hungary without conceding.
Physical exhaustion in the final minutes of that match may have resulted from the extensive travel distance back to Tbilisi.
