Mattias Svanberg Scores Second-Fastest Substitute Goal in Sweden's World Cup WinPreviousNext

Swedish midfielder Mattias Svanberg scored the second-fastest goal by a substitute in FIFA World Cup history during Sweden's 5-1 win over Tunisia at the 2026 tournament. Entering the match at the 83rd minute, Svanberg scored 18 seconds later from a Yasin Ayari free-kick after a VAR review confirmed the goal.
