the 49-year-old Slovak footballer with a great past managed to score in the sixth second of the match!

Marek Penksa proved to everyone that football is not forgotten. At the age of 49, he still hasn’t forgotten any of his football skills. His career was quite rich, during which he wore the jerseys of very famous teams.

He played in the Bundesliga, he is also the winner of the Hungarian league. During his rich career he tasted teams like Frankfurt, Dresden, Wisla or even Rapid Vienna. He won the Hungarian title with Ferencváros.

With the Czechoslovak national under-16 team he became European champion in 1990. In the final match against Yugoslavia, which ended 3:2 after extra time, Penksa even scored once.

He played for Slovakia in the senior national team. He scored a total of 7 starts. His cousin is Pavol Penksa, a football goalkeeper who has played outside Slovakia in Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Scotland and Cyprus.

Pavol’s father, Milan Penksa, was also a well-known goalkeeper. The whole family is literally intertwined with football and that talent is definitely not lacking is proved by a beautifully hit ball and a goal scored from the middle of the field directly after a cross.

“I saw that the goalkeeper was standing high, so I told my friend Michal Nosáľ to pass the ball to me. He immediately joked if I was going to kick it in,” Penksa told SME.sk website about the action during the kick-off of the Ružina – Divin match.

He then showed his teammates that he could really kick. The ball flew over the goalkeeper and went straight under the bar, to use football slang. “Because I have problems with my achilles, I moved the ball to my left foot. And I put it on target. It may have been the fastest goal in the history of football, in the whole world,” laughed the veteran Slovak footballer.

Penksa is a youth coach. He is the head coach of the Bánská Bystrica club. However, he still plays football actively. Specifically, the seventh highest Slovak competition. There is a looser regime here, as his story proves.

“I was in Banská Bystrica to watch my son’s match, so I arrived five minutes before kick-off. I quickly changed, stretched and ran onto the pitch,” he added.
