The fastest goals in World Cup history

Some World Cup goals arrive before the crowd has even settled. These are among the fastest ever.

Turkey's Hakan Şükür holds the record, scoring after roughly 11 seconds against South Korea in the 2002 third-place play-off — the fastest goal in World Cup history.

Quick goals set a tournament alight, but as the champions' curse shows, a fast start is no guarantee of a deep run. Map out the whole path on the bracket instead.
