World Cup 2026: Where does goal by Morocco's Ismael Saibari rank among fastest in tournament history?

To say Morocco got off on the right foot in its match against Scotland at the 2026 World Cup doesn't quite cover it. Just over one minute into the match, Ismael Saibari took a pass down the right side from Brahim Díaz and blasted a kick past Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn. The ball went into the net just 70 seconds after the match had kicked off. Take a look at this absolute fireball from Saibari: It was the fastest goal scored at the 2026 World Cup so far (by several minutes), but where does it rank in tournament history? It's not even in the top 10. Per FIFA's research, 13 different players have scored goals in the first 60 seconds of a World Cup match. 1. Hakan Sukur – 11 seconds in 2002 2. Vaclav Masek – 15 seconds in 1962 3. Ernest Lehner – 25 seconds in 1934 4. Bryan Robson – 28 seconds in 1982 5. Clint Dempsey – 30 seconds in 2014 6. Bernard Lacombe – 31 seconds in 1978 7. Arne Nyberg – 35 seconds in 1938 7. Emile Veinante – 35 seconds in 1938 9. Florian Albert – 50 seconds in 1962 9. Adalbert Desu – 50 seconds in 1930 9. Seung Zin Pak – 50 seconds in 1966 12. Celso Ayala – 52 seconds in 1998 13. Mathias Jorgensen – 55 seconds in 2018 Yes, that's right. Hakan Sukur of Turkey scored a goal just 11 seconds into a match during the 2002 World Cup. You can watch it right here . We'll see if Morocco can take advantage of Saibari's wonderstrike and get three points out of the match. The Atlas Lions led 1-0 heading into the halftime break. Regardless, Saibari will likely have his own little piece of history at this World Cup.
