Video: Portuguese striker scores 3secs after kick-off

Now that’s a quick goal

Don’t you try to tell us there is no skill in the fifth tier of Portuguese football. Just look at this strike from FC Oliveira do Hospital forward Carlos Almeida. Opponents Arganil didn’t know what had hit them and never recovered, as they went on to lose the match 3-0.

Almeida doesn’t go down in history as the fastest goal ever though. It’s not exactly one of football’s clearest cut records but the honour probably belongs to Nawaf Al Abed of Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.
