Watch Europa League side’s ‘worst kick-off in history’ as they concede SEVEN SECONDS after restart
FANS are dubbing it the ";worst kick-off in history" after a Europa League side conceded just seven seconds after kick-off in the second half.
The bizarre incident happened in the group stage clash between FC Midtjylland and FCSB on Thursday.
Midfielder Florin Tanase put the hosts ahead within the opening 20 minutes in Romania.
But it was striker Daniel Birligea's goal, which sealed the win, that will live long in the memory after he capitalised on a terrible kick-off error from Midtjylland.
The ball was passed back to goalkeeper Elias Rafn Olafsson from the centre-circle at the restart.
Olafsson's attempted clearance was blocked by Birligea who ran straight through on goal.

Another commented: "What coach actually gives the ok to starting the game like this? Madness."
