Christoph Baumgartner scored after six seconds to record the fastest ever goal in international football as Austria beat Slovakia in Bratislava.
The 24-year-old midfielder skipped past three challenges from the kick-off and fired a low shot past home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
His effort was a second quicker than Lukas Podolski's strike for Germany against Ecuador in 2013.
Andreas Weimann's late goal confirmed victory for Ralf Rangnick's side.
Baumgartner's remarkable effort was almost equalled later on Saturday evening when Florian Wirtz put Germany ahead in France, with a 25-yard effort that appeared to deflect off Dayot Upamecano before clipping the underside of the crossbar on its way in.
Wow, that is rather quick ! Had they kept up that rate, Austria would've been 10-0 up after one minute, and 900-0 up after the full 90 minutes, ignoring stoppage time (although, in reality, they only won 2-0 ).
Unless anyone is crazy enough to try scoring directly from the halfway line, it's hard to imagine this being beaten any time soon .
