Six seconds.
Time to whistle for the match to kick off and raise your head to concede the goal.
The referee of the match between Linz and Red Bull Salzburg counting for the Austrian championship did not delay on Saturday to designate the central circle, after only six seconds of play in favor of the visitors.
A happy goal, certainly, but full of opportunism from Petar Ratkov.
The Croatian striker rushed at the opposing goalkeeper who had inherited a back pass on his team's entry.
In a hurry, the latter cleared but the ball bounced off the scorer's right foot before finishing its course in the net.
Linz quickly equalized afterwards to obtain a draw (1-1) against the championship leader.
In France, the fastest goal in the history of the championship dates from 1992, scored by Michel Rio during a meeting between SM Caen and AS Cannes.
It only took 7''72 for the Norman midfielder to shake the net.
Kylian Mbappé was not very far from dethroning Rio.
On August 21, 2022, the Parisian striker opened the scoring against Lille after 8''06 after a very judicious combination (the goal is available by following this link).
There are still a dozen days left for the 2018 world champion to erase the record man from the shelves, before a probable departure abroad.
