The world record for goals scored in senior football, which has stood ever since Arbroath thumped Bon Accord 36-0 in 1885, has been smashed by a team from Madagascar.
League champions AS Adema won a match 149-0, more than quadrupling the existing record - and without gaining possession of the ball between the first goal and the 149th.
Their opponents, Stade Olymique L'Emyrne, took complete control of the national league game, reducing Adema to the role of onlookers, as they deliberately knocked the ball in the back of their own net 149 times, in protest over a refereeing decision.
The English Football Association believe that the 149-0 scoreline represents a new world record. "I certainly think it's a world record," said the FA's historian David Barber.
"I've heard of a local league game in Nottingham that finished 50-2 and there was a 43-0 in an Austrian regional game before the second world war - but nothing this big."
