Matias Galarza Scores Fastest Goal of FIFA World Cup 2026 Against TurkeyPreviousNext

Paraguay's Matias Galarza scored the fastest goal of the FIFA World Cup 2026, netting just 64 seconds into their Group D match against Turkey. His goal surpassed the previous record set earlier that day by Morocco's Ismael Saibari, who scored after 70 seconds. Galarza capitalized on a Turkish turnover with a powerful shot, giving Paraguay an early 1-0 lead in a crucial match for both teams, who had lost their opening games. The match ended with Turkey's elimination, and Paraguay faced a red card incident involving Miguel Almiron under a new rule.
