The previous record was held by Marcel Titsch-Rivero, who was sent off after 43 seconds in 2011.

Despite the negative feat, König's mark is still far from the fastest sending-off recorded in football history.

In 2000, Englishman Lee Todd was punished with a red card after two seconds for swearing in surprise at the initial whistle of the match between Cross Farm Park Celtic and Taunton East Reach Wanderers, in the Sunday League, a semi-amateur football division.
