Gylfi Sigurdsson marked his first Everton start with a stunning 50-yard strike as Ronald Koeman's side reached the Europa League group stage at the expense of Hajduk Split.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg, Everton hopes looked shaky when Josip Radosevic unleashed a wonderful, swerving shot from 35 yards beyond Jordan Pickford.
But Sigurdsson, making just his second Everton appearance following his £45m transfer from Swansea, put even that superb strike in the shade just 14 seconds into the second half.
Picking up a loose ball on the right of the pitch, just a few yards inside the Hajduk half, the Iceland midfielder fired an effort high towards goal and over the frantic reach of the back-pedalling Dante Stipica.
Sigurdsson's moment of brilliance left Hajduk needing three goals to progress and silenced the hitherto boisterous Stadion Poljud.
The hosts might have got one back when Ashley Williams fouled Ante Erceg in the area and the referee pointed to the spot, but Jordan Pickford - another big-money summer arrival in the Everton ranks - got down low to his right to keep out Ahmed Said's penalty.
