  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Petar Ratkov stunned Blau-Weiss Linz on Saturday to set a new Bundesliga record. Radkov capitalized on a goalkeeper mistake and swiftly sent the ball into the net etching his name in the annals of Austrian football history just after the first whistle. Amazingly, he scored with his team's first touch of the game as it was the home team that took kick-off and passed the ball all the way back before the goalkeeper kicked it off of Ratkov.
