"Sevilla" forward Vitolo led his team against "Villarreal" just 13.21 seconds into the game - this is a new UEFA Europa League record. Kevin Gameiro made a high pass forward to the speeding team, then Vitolo stopped the ball with his chest and defeated the opponent's goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo. In yesterday's match, Gameiro scored a goal himself, another one was added by Stephane M'Bia, and the team defending the Europa League title took a victory from the "Villarreal" stronghold with a score of 3-1. This precise strike was almost two seconds faster than the previous record, held by Argentinian Ismael Blanco, who in the autumn of 2009, representing Athens' "AEK," scored against Barysaw's "BATE." The fastest goal in all European tournaments belongs to Dutchman Roy Makaay, who scored in 10.12 seconds while wearing Bayern Munich's jersey. This happened in March 2007, when the Bavarians eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals.
