The nightmare goes on! Turkey concede the World Cup's fastest goal

After the disappointing 0-2 opening defeat against Australia, Türkiye are already under considerable pressure in their second group match against Paraguay. Early Saturday morning German time, nothing less than a win will do against the South Americans.

However, Türkiye’s mission to make amends could hardly have started any worse: after just 65 seconds, Paraguay had already taken a 1-0 lead!

Following a Turkish turnover, Matias Galarza simply let fly from 21 metres and actually found the net. No goal at this World Cup has been scored earlier!

The even worse news: as things stand, the Turks are bottom of Group D without a point.

The good news: there is still plenty of time left to turn this result around.
