This is the fastest goal in the history of World Cups

the history of World Cups it is full of anecdotes and records that provide new incentives for future appointments. One of them is the earliest goal, the fastest. When is it? Who marked it? against whom? where? what minute And… will the record be broken in Qatar? It’s difficult.

And that was the goal scored by the controversial Turkish striker hakan sukur in the match for third place in the World Cup between Japan and South Korea in 2002 (2-3), certainly against Korea, it was 11 seconds after the first whistle. Ilhan Mansiz, author of two goals in that game, stole the ball from the confident local defense and the ball fell to an unforgiving Sükür who scored from a low shot.

The clock read just 10.8 seconds, meaning he comfortably beat the previous World Cup record, set by Vaclav Massek, from Czechoslovakia, who scored after 16 seconds in the 1962 semifinal against Mexico. In third place on the podium is the German Ernest Lehner, who beat Austria after 25 seconds in Italy-1934.
