In today's opening match of the UEFA Europa League, Scottish side Rangers faced off against Swedish champions Malmö, where an extraordinary event unfolded.

Details: Just 55 seconds into the match, Rangers midfielder Nedim Bajrami opened the scoring.

This marks the second time in recent months that Bajrami has netted at the very start of a game. During Euro 2024, the Albanian midfielder scored against Italy in just 23 seconds, setting a record for the fastest goal in European Championship history.

Moreover, Bajrami became the first Rangers player since 1998 to score in a European competition within the first minute of the match, a feat previously accomplished by the legendary Gennaro Gattuso.

Both of Nedim Bajrami's last two goals for club and country have been scored in the opening minute of the match:

◎ 23s for Albania vs. Italy
◉ 55s for Rangers vs. Malmo
