Nigeria’s sensation Paul Onuachu has scored a goal which has become one of the fastest goals in world football, as Nigeria beat Egypt 1-0 in an international friendly played on Tuesday in Asaba.
The Denmark-based striker scored in the opening five seconds of the match, when he fired a blistering shot past Egyptian goalkeeper, Abdelrehim Mahmoud from outside the 18 yard box.
Previous records of fastest goals scored in world football shows according to Total Sportek, Damian Mori, an A-League striker scored a goal in 3.69 seconds for his Adelaide City club against Sydney United in 1995.
Onuachu will now take over the record set by the arsenal legend, Podolski.
