In the early hours of Thursday morning (15), France cruised to a surprise 2-0 victory over Morocco in the World Cup semifinals, with the
progress
The Final. In this crucial match, it was not debutant Goloumiani who sealed the win for France, but rather he scored just 44 seconds after coming on, a feat that made him the third fastest substitute goal scorer in World Cup history, behind Uruguay's Morales in 2002 and Denmark's Sinter in 1998.
France took the lead in the early stages of the match with a goal from Dior Boots Nandis, but Morocco then fought back and made the game very tense. It wasn't until the 78th minute that France brought on Eintracht Frankfurt's Giorgio Mianni, a substitute, who found a goal in just 44 seconds to make it 2-0 and secure France's place in the final. The goal not only secured France's place in the final, but also set a new record for goals scored by a substitute in World Cup history.
It is worth mentioning that Goloumiani was not initially selected for the World Cup, however, when Negancourt withdrew due to an injury, Digance called him up as a matter of urgency. He is a true "miracle worker", so to speak.
