The Bulgarian forward for PAOK found the back of the net before the 2nd minute of the match against RFS in Riga, putting his team ahead 1-0. This goal marks the fastest ever scored by a PAOK player in the club’s European history.
The previous record dated back to July 23, 2015, held by Spanish midfielder Lucas Pérez. Pérez had opened the scoring in the 3rd minute during PAOK’s 6-0 victory over Lokomotiva Zagreb. Notably, two own goals in PAOK’s favor—against Rennes (Rosa) and Dinamo Minsk (Nikolic)—are also recorded in the same minute.
Following these are goals such as Vasilis Vasilakos’ strike in the 4th minute during the 1985-86 Champions Cup match between PAOK and Hellas Verona, which ended 1-2.
