PETALING JAYA: It took Rainderson Da Costa, better known as Careca, just 12 seconds to write his name into Malaysian football history.

The Brazilian playmaker netted the second-fastest goal ever scored in the Super League, setting Terengganu on their way to a commanding 5-0 win over Brunei at the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan on Friday. The current record is held by former Penang centreback Rafael Vitor, also a Brazilian, who took just nine seconds to score the first goal for Penang, when they took on Perak in 2021.
