Top 10 Fastest World Cup Goals of All Time
7. Arne Nyberg (1938) – 35 seconds
16/06/1938 ( Paris, Parc des Princes ), Semi-final
Though they lost, Nyberg scored for Sweden after 35 seconds in their semi-final 5-1 loss against Hungary and therefore makes it way into the Top 10 World Cup Fastest Goals of All Time. An own goal in the 19th minute from S. Jacobsen got the Hungarians level with Sweden after they had scored an earlier goal from Arne Nyberg just after 35 seconds. This was eleven days in the game between France and Belgium when Arne matched Veinante’s exploits, another goal just after 35 seconds came in from Nyberg. So 1938 World Cup is a year to remember with two fastest goals. Zsengeller scored a brace ( 39th and 86th goals ), Sas and Sarosi scored for Hungary in the 37th and 66th minutes respectively.
