This Sunday (27), Canada faced Croatia, for the second round of Group F of the World Cup in Qatar. In short, the Croats confirmed their favoritism and imposed themselves by 4 x 1, at the start of the school year. Despite the loss, the confrontation went down in Canadian history, after all, Alphonso Davies scored the first goal in Canadian national team history.
Incidentally, Alphonso Davies’ goal came out very quickly with only 1 minute and 8 seconds on the ball. With this, the player became the fastest goalscorer in the World Cup in Qatar, at least so far. After all, the winger got past Gakpo from the Netherlands who scored with 4 minutes remaining.
However, Alphonso Davies, who is well known for his speed, was not fast enough. Since then, he was not even close to entering the ranking of the fastest goals of the World Cup. So, find out which were the five fastest goals of the World Cup:
5 – Dempsey – 28 seconds
At the World Cup in Brazil, American Clint Dempsey scored for the United States with just 28 seconds left on the ball. The player’s goal was fundamental for his country, after all the team managed to defeat Ghana by 2 x 1 and guaranteed a place in the round of 16 of the competition, beating Portugal, who fell in the the first phase.
4 – Bryan Robson – 27 seconds
In 1982, England’s Bryan Robson scored with 27 seconds on the ball, just a second less than Dempsey. The former midfielder took advantage of the rebound and scored the first for England in the game as the English beat France 3-1.
3 – Ernst Lehner – 24 seconds
Only in the second edition of the World Cup in 1934, Germany’s Ernst Lehner scored 24 seconds from the referee’s whistle against Austria. The former player’s goal was fundamental as the Austrians were a great team and hard to beat. With that, on this occasion, Germany won by 3 x 2.
2 – Vaclav Masek – 16 seconds
Czechoslovakian Vaclav Masek is also on the list, after all in 1962 he scored a goal just 16 seconds from the opening whistle in the clash against Mexico, the clash still took place in the group stage of the World Cup in Chile. However, that didn’t help much, as the Mexicans managed to recover and won the duel by 3 x 1.
1 – Hakan Sukur – 11 seconds
Finally, the fastest goal in the history of the World Cups happened in 2002, the year when the Brazilian team became champions of this tournament. However, the fastest goal scorer was Turkey’s Hakan Sukur in the dispute for third place.
