AC Milan lead 1-0 at half time in the second leg of their Champions League knockout phase play-off against Feyenoord.
And their goal came after just 36 SECONDS.
It was Milan's earliest in a UCL match since September 2011, when Alexandre Pato scored after 24 seconds against Barcelona.
Santiago Giménez, who headed home the opener, became the first player to both score for and against the same team (excluding own goals) in a single Champions League campaign.
Gimenez moved from Feyenoord to AC Milan last month after already netting in the competition for the Dutch side.
"We will try to get better in everything."

talkSPORT understands that Championship side Swansea could turn to Ryan Mason in their hunt for a new manager.
Tottenham assistant coach Mason was high on the Swans’ wanted list before they appointed Luke Williams in January last year.
And after deciding to give Williams the boot following a run of eight defeats from their last ten games, the ex-England midfielder still has admirers among the Welsh club's hierarchy.
Mason also held talks with Anderlecht in October before deciding to stay at Spurs, so it remains to be seen if he is willing to leave now.
As talkSPORT reported on Monday, former Oxford boss Des Buckingham is also among the front-runners to replace the sacked Williams.
However, Russell Martin has no interest in a return to Wales.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has claimed that his first season at Old Trafford was his best as a player.
Now, by this he didn't mean the best as a collective because he was part of Real Madrid sides that won Champions League titles.
Instead, he is talking about as an individual and his own performances.
After leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, he joined Man United and is on £350,000 a week.
However, in his first year, Casemiro was very good and scored a goal in the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle United.
His displays were regularly praised, but it's still hard to believe that he didn't perform better at any other point in his career than that year.
But that is what he believes, as he told Spanish publication AS.
He said: “Individually, my best season as a footballer was the first with Man United.
"I'm not saying collectively in terms of titles.

It is the first game at the new Bramley Moore Dock stadium tonight as Everton Under-18s take on Wigan.
Toffees fans have been invited in to see their new ground, and things couldn't be going much worse.
The young Everton side are trailing 2-0 with not long to go, and the first goalscorer at the new ground was Harrison Rimmer.
And after scoring, he held up six fingers in the direction of the Everton fans.
This is of course the number of European trophies that Liverpool have won, so it was a not-so subtle dig at the Toffees.
Is the new ground cursed already?

Thomas Tuchel is reportedly missing some Premier League games because he is working from home.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss was announced as Gareth Southgate's permanent successor in late 2024 after a secretive process from the FA.
He didn't officially start as new Three Lions boss until January 1 this year, and he has missed the last three rounds of Premier League and cup games because he is being allowed regular trips back to Germany, according to The Times.
His family are still based in the country of his birth, so Tuchel is regularly returning and working from home.
Tuchel is set to earn £ 5million a year while in charge of the Three Lions, and he will manage his first game next month.

Arsenal have been fined £65,000 by the Football Association after their players confronted referee Michael Oliver in the 1-0 victory over Wolves last month.
Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially sent off for a challenge on Matt Doherty which prompted the Arsenal players to surround Oliver.
The red card was subsequently overturned following an appeal.
The club later accepted the charge and the FA said in a statement: "An independent regulatory commission has imposed a £65,000 fine on Arsenal in relation to the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, January 25.
"It was alleged that Arsenal failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way around the 43rd minute, and the club subsequently admitted to this charge."
Lewis-Skelly was shown a red card for the late tackle, which was ratified by VAR, but an appeal hearing later ruled it should not have been deemed "serious foul play".
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was infuriated by the decision, which sparked debate between pundits as to whether it should have been a sending-off or not.
The FA also released the written reasons for the fine, with the aggravating factors including: "When the red card was shown, only two Arsenal players were in relatively close proximity to the referee, with none in his immediate vicinity.
There were, at times, nine Arsenal players in very close proximity to the referee.
"The caution administered by the referee does not end the misconduct, as would be expected.
"The duration of the misconduct, the close proximity of the players to the referee, the number of players involved and the failure to desist/disperse when the referee indicates for them to do so all render this a serious matter and serve to aggravate the misconduct."
Regarding any mitigating factors, the panel added: "Arsenal ought to be credited for admitting the charge.
"The red card issued to (Lewis-Skelly) being overturned on appeal does not justify the reaction of Arsenal's players surrounding the match referee and affords no mitigation."

“So I pray, but I have to improve the quality of my praying,” finished the 75-year-old with a wry smile.

Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has laid into Jadon Sancho by claiming the winger deceived fans with his early good performances.
England international Sancho initially impressed after arriving from Manchester United on deadline day last summer in an initial loan deal.
The transfer, which will become permanent provided Chelsea doesn’t finish in the bottom six, looked to be a great fit for all parties.
Having fallen out of favour at Old Trafford, Sancho registered three assists in his first three games.
He then scored back-to-back Premier League goals in his eighth and ninth appearances for the club before suffering a dip in form.
Sancho has managed just one assist without scoring in his last 10 top-flight matches and is still waiting to open his account for 2025 with his last goal coming against Tottenham in December.
Following his latest ineffective outing in the 3-0 defeat to Brighton, Mikel refused to hold back in his criticism of the 24-year-old.
“Jadon Sancho came in and deceived us with a couple of games, and we thought, “f****** hell, we are getting the Sancho from [Borussia] Dortmund”, but he’s gone again,” he told his Obi One Podcast.
“I don’t know what happened to him, but he has disappeared off the grid.”

Simon Jordan has called out Ange Postecoglou despite the Tottenham boss sealing a 1-0 win over Manchester United.
The talkSPORT host claimed the Australian must shoulder some of the blame for Spurs' struggles this season.
Postecoglou has regularly pointed to his club's extensive injury crisis for their inconsistent form, with a section of the Tottenham fanbase also pointing the finger at chairman Daniel Levy.
However, Jordan said: “When you’ve had your best team available to you and you’ve lost at home to Ipswich, your best team’s been available to you.
“When you had your best team available, you’ve been 2-0 up against Brighton, you’ve lost.
