🥴 Sent off in seconds: second division pro makes German football history | OneFootball

This doesn't happen every day: After just 23 seconds, Fürth's Noah König was sent off the pitch in the game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Whether intended or not - he has made Bundesliga history.

Because his foul on Lautern's striker Alidou led to the fastest dismissal in Bundesliga history. Neither in the first nor in the second league has a player ever been sent off faster. König, by the way, snatched the infamous record from Marcel Titsch-Rivero.

The then Frankfurter was sent off the pitch against Borussia Dortmund after 43 seconds on May 14, 2011 - but only after his substitution. König doesn't have to feel too bad: Internationally, his 23-second red card is almost harmless.

Welsh amateur footballer Lee Todd was sent off the field after just two seconds in 2000. Reason: He shouted "Fuck me, that was loud" right after the kickoff. It's just unfortunate if the referee hears that - and had a bad night's sleep that day.
