Cristiano Ronaldo on the stopwatch

The Only Footballers to scored Goals in Every Minute of the Game




Many goals in a football match are scored in the late stages of two halves of 45 minutes each. It is only in rare cases that a player scores a goal in the first few seconds of the match. Any footballer or fan can attest to this theory.

There are only two football players worldwide who have scored goals in every minute of the game-Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Cristiano Ronaldo

The Manchester Utd. and Portugal star set the record back in 2014 in the Copa Del Rey clash against Atletico Madrid after scoring two goals – both from the penalty spot. Real Madrid won 5-0 on aggregate.

CR7 scored in the seventh and 16th-minute of the match... with the two goals giving him the 90-minute record.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Meanwhile, Zlatan set the record in 2014 after scoring two goals for Sweden in a match against Estonia. He became the second player in football history to score in all 90 minutes of the game.

The Swede forward also reached a new milestone in that match- in terms of goals (50 in total), breaking a long-standing career record set by Sven Rydell.

The Longest pass

The Longest pass ever recorded in an NFL game   The NFL has seen some great talent, especially in the quarterback position. For example, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been a promising talent. One of Patrick’s exceptional skills is his throwing ability. The quarterback claims he can throw 75-83 yards. However, the longest pass in the NFL was not from a quarterback but a third quarterback- Cleveland Browns, Baker Mayfield. The action was recorded on Monday night, week 14 of the NFL season.  Mayfield threw a pass that was over 70 yards against the Baltimore Ravens. He hurled the ball a little too much- hoping to score the last touchdown at the end of the half. I hope Mayfield iced his arm after the game because he threw 343 yards and completed three touchdowns in Monday night's showdown. Cleveland Browns rank second in the AFC North table and currently sit at 9-4, behind the 11-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns will face the struggling New York Giants and a winless New Y

The Swan Of Utrecht

Haunted by injuries: Van Basten Marco Van Basten was born on the 31st of October 1964 in Utrecht. He grew up in the Oog In Al neighbourhood. When he was just six years old, he began playing for a local team from his hometown, EDO. After spending a year with them, he moved to UVV Utrecht. His time at UVV was stretched over nine years. This is where he developed the skills he needed to make it to the big clubs. When Marco just turned 16, he got an offer from Ajax and signed a contract with them for the 1981-82 season. Marco debuted for Ajax on the 3rd of April 1982, when he came on as a substitute for Johan Cruyff and scored a goal bumping up the team’s morale contributing to the 5-0 victory over NEC. The following season seemed to be beneficial for Basten. In the season of 83’, he competed with the European top scorer and first choice Holland international Wim Kieft for the position of centre forward. Marco ended up scoring nine goals in 20 league matches. Consequently, Ajax chose to se
