Vitinho scored after an Alan Patrick pass just 45 seconds into the 29th round of Brazil’s Série A. Internacional is hosting Corinthians at Beira-Rio stadium.
The match in Porto Alegre opened with a home attack. Alan Patrick collected the ball near the center circle, spotted a teammate’s run and played a pass into space. Vitinho ran onto it and beat goalkeeper Hugo Souza.
CNN Brasil reported that the goal was the fastest in this season’s league campaign. Before the 29th round, Internacional was 18th with 28 points. Corinthians was 14th with 32 points and had lost six straight league matches.
The teams were both trying to avoid relegation. CNN Brasil’s report described the game as ongoing and did not give a final score.
