In a thrilling night of World Cup action, the record for the fastest goal of the tournament was broken twice. Morocco’s Ismaël Saïbari opened the scoring against Scotland in just the 70th second of the match.
However, that record stood for only a short while. In the very next game, Paraguay’s midfielder Matías Galarza shattered the mark by finding the net within 64 seconds.
Galarza’s early strike secured a vital victory for Paraguay and marked a disappointing end to Turkey’s campaign.
Reflecting on his game-winning goal, Galarza said, “It was unforgettable. Thanks to everyone who believed in us. This is one of the best nights of my life, without a doubt. Today, we were more Paraguayan than ever.”
