VIDEO: An own goal in 14 SECONDS! Latvia defender Marcis Oss gifts minnows Liechtenstein a rare lead in calamitous fashion

203rd-ranked Liechtenstein took a shock lead against 136st-placed Latvia on Tuesday, doing so in even more surprising fashion. Latvia soon won the ball back from the visitors' kick-off before passing it briefly round the back. A mix-up between Oss and goalkeeper Pavels Steinbors saw the latter step out to receive a pass. Without looking the defender played goalward and thus into an empty net, much to the despair of himself and his team-mate.

While the stakes were admittedly low given that it was just a friendly, it is certainly not a moment Oss will want to see back. The defender didn't have to wait long to see his blushes spared, however, with striker Raimonds Krollis popping up with an equaliser just 10 minutes later.

Oss' own-goal is just one of several lightning-quick strikes to have happened this international break. Austria's Christoph Baumgartner scored within six seconds against Slovakia on Saturday, an international record, while Germany's Florian Wirtz scored a cracker against France just a few hours later, with his strike clocking in at seven seconds.

The 1-1 draw between the two European minnows comes as part of FIFA's new series of friendly games which aims to bring different confederations together to play each other. After the March break, Latvia and Liechtenstein will next be in action in the Nations League in September, in League C and D respectively.
