Mexican Luis Chávez, in the match against Saudi Arabia, scored the most powerful goal of the World Cup in Qatar so far, when he hit the ball at a speed of 121.69 kilometers per hour.
As reported by FIFA, this data is achieved thanks to the technology contained in the Al Rihla ball, which has an inertial measurement unit (IMU) inside that outputs information to the video room 500 times per second, allowing a very -accurate trigger point detection.

var x = document.createElement(‘script’);

});
This sensor detects the distance the ball carries in the air towards the goal, the speed of the shot, as well as the amount of spin it carries.

Luis Chávez tops the list with his spectacular free-kick in Mexico’s victory over the Saudi team on November 30 on the final day of group C.
The distance to the goal (measured from where the ball is hit to the center of the goal, in a straight line, not the flight path) of that goal is 29.19 meters, with a top speed of 121.69 km/h.

The Mexican is followed by two players who scored goals against Spain. Japanese Ritsu Doan beat Unai Simón with a shot from 21.57 meters at a speed of 120.04; and the German Niclas Füllkrug at 118.00.
Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo occupies the fourth position with the first goal he scored against Ghana in the 3-2 victory, at 117.39 km/h, ahead of only Englishman Harry Kane with his goal against Senegal, at 115.86 .
