In the next round of the Portuguese championship, the "Santa Clara" team achieved a 2:1 victory over "Famalicão" at home. However, this match went down in history not only for the victory but also for a remarkable event. "Famalicão" striker Gabriel Silva managed to set a unique record in world football.
In the added minutes of the second half, Silva reached a speed of 40.3 km/h during a sprint measured by the GPS system. This figure was recorded as the highest running speed in football history.
