Looking for a xpath node whose table row must fulfill several conditions

Searching for those node "col_functions" whose table row values is "John Wayne" from the table @class="table_list".

("col_functions", "col_firstname" and "col_lastname are sibling nodes and childs from the table)

    <table class="table_list">
       <tbody>
        <tr>
           <td class="col_firstname">John</td>
           <td class="col_lastname">Lennon</td>
           <td class="col_functions"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
           <td class="col_firstname">John</td>
           <td class="col_lastname">Wayne</td> 
           <td class="col_functions"></td> <=== looking for this node!!
        </tr>
        <tr>
           <td class="col_firstname">Wayne</td>
           <td class="col_lastname">John</td>
           <td class="col_functions"></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
  <table>

Using siblings it will be like that:

//table[@class='table_list']//td[@class='col_firstname'][text()='John']/following-sibling::td[@class='col_lastname'][text=()'Wayne']/following-sibling::td[@class='col_functions']

One option would be to check for class names all over the place:

//table[@class="table_list"]//tr[td[@class="col_firstname"] = "John" and td[@class="col_lastname"] = "Wayne"]/td[@class="col_functions"]/text()

Here we are basically checking all rows inside the table for cells with first name John and last name Wayne, getting the cell with col_functions as an output.
