Last weekend (24th), the international scene was full of smoke and mirrors. In a battle of speedy goals, Germany's Ancolian Waddis scored against France in just seven seconds, which seems to be the record for the fastest goal ever scored in an international match. However, Slovakia's midfielder Bamgatena, who played against Austria in the Franco-German match, wrote a new chapter in soccer history by going even faster - scoring the fastest goal in an international match in just six seconds.
After the warm-up match in Slovakia, Bamgatena set a new record for the fastest goal ever scored when he launched a stunning high-speed break in the center circle and put the ball in the net in just six seconds. According to official FIFA data, the previous record was set by San Marino's Gottelli in 1993 against England (8.3 seconds). Bamgatena took two seconds off the record this time, and Austria were also demoralized by the 2-0 victory.
Barmgartner, 24, who has just joined RB Leipzig, said after the game: "I've always tried to accelerate quickly at the start of the game, and this time I got the rhythm right, hence the goal. Of course I'm very happy, and the goal helped Austria win the game, which is the most important thing.
