99 career titles is what Falcao has won after helping Brazil conquer a tenth Grand Prix de Futsal in 11 editions. The 40-year-old’s five goals in Brusque left him just four shy of a staggering 400 for his country.

78 appearances make Ronald Koeman the most-capped Netherlands coach in history. His former Ajax and Oranje team-mate Frank Rijkaard won 73. The Dutch have now appointed four coaches since finishing third at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.

70 years after they last scored six goals in back-to-back games, Marseille repeated the feat. Tuesday’s 9-0 demolition of Bourg-en-Bresse in the Coupe de France was OM’s biggest victory since a 10-1 defeat of Chambery in the same competition in 1948, while four days earlier Florian Thauvin inspired a 6-3 reverse of Metz to become the second player to reach double figures in both goals and assists (13 goals; 10 assists) in Europe’s top five leagues this season after Neymar (18 goals; 11 assists). Lionel Messi swiftly became the third (20 goals; 10 assists).

37 points is what Ernie Merrick’s Newcastle Jets have registered in the 2017/18 A-League – more than they ever have in an A-League season despite having eight rounds remaining.

20 goals is what Kitchee have incredibly scored in Diego Forlan’s first three starts for the club, with South Africa 2010’s adidas Golden Ball winner contributing five goals in just 205 minutes of action.

13 years after Owen Hargreaves became the fourth Englishman to score in the Bundesliga – he netted the first league goal ever scored at the Allianz Arena against Borussia Monchengladbach – Ademola Lookman became the fifth against, coincidentally, the same opponents.

10 Dutchmen have coached La Liga clubs after Clarence Seedorf became the first in ten years by assuming the RC Deportivo reins.

5 years had passed since a player bagged multiple goals on his Bundesliga debut until Michy Batshuayi’s brace helped Borussia Dortmund win 3-2 at Cologne.

0 hosts had won the African Nations Championship until Morocco thumped Nigeria 4-0 to record the biggest-ever victory in its final.
