Turkey’s Hakan Sukur holds the record of scoring the fastest goal in World Cup history in 2002…
The World Cup year is here and excitement around the 2022 Qatar World Cup is already building.
This will be only the second time in history that the World Cup will be held in Asia after the 2002 edition which was jointly hosted by Japan and South Korea.
It’s always a great occasion for a player to score a goal in World Cup. What if that goal became a piece of history?
Several records have been created and broken in the World Cup over the years. Turkey’s Hakan Sukur holds the record of scoring the fastest goal in the competition’s history when he netted in the 11th second of their third-place play-offs match against South Korea in 2002.
English football legend, Bryan Robson scored within 27 seconds from kick-off against France at the 1982 World Cup and in 2014, USA’s Clint Dempsey scored a goal in the 30th second of a group stage tie against Ghana.
