Paraguayan player Matías Galarza has set a new record for the fastest goal scored at the 2026 World Cup. Galarza scored against Turkey just 67 seconds into the match. This achievement surpassed the previous record, held for only a few hours by Moroccan player Ismael Saibari. Saibari had briefly claimed the fastest goal title earlier in the tournament. Galarza’s goal now stands as the quickest in the competition thus far. The rapid scoring has generated excitement early in the World Cup 2026 tournament. This marks a significant moment for Paraguayan football on the international stage.
