Sub sent off after 17 seconds on the pitch

Is this the shortest ever appearance by a substitute in a football match?

Australian midfielder Ruben Zadkovich lasted less than half a minute when brought on to the field last night for Perth Glory.

His side were taking on Wellington Phoenix in the A-League and Zadkovich came on in the scond half, eager to make an impression on the game.

Too eager, he hadn’t even time to break a sweat before getting a straight red for this studs-up challenge.

Luckily for him, Perth still went on to win 2-1.
