An Eccellenza Umbria league match between Narnese and Casa del Diavolo last weekend will be remembered for being the scene of one of the fastest goals in football history.
Even the match referee had no time to pull his whistle off his mouth as Narnese forward Michele Virgilio launched a shot straight from the kick-off which the ball flew of the keeper's head and into the net.
However, Virgilio's four-second goal is not the fastest goal in history.
Back in 2009, Al-Hilal striker Nawaf Al-Abed scored what may be the fastest goal in a professional football match ever, officially clocking in at 2 seconds.
