Austria’s Christoph Baumgartner scores fastest ever international goal inside game’s opening six seconds

Austria’s Christoph Baumgartner scored the fastest ever international goal on Saturday, taking just six seconds to find the back of the net during his country’s 2-0 victory against Slovakia.

Immediately after kickoff, he weaved through the Slovakian defense before rifling the ball into the net from well outside the box, sparking wild celebrations on and off the pitch as he was mobbed by his teammates and the traveling Austrian fans jumped up and down in the stands.

The 24-year-old’s goal was even faster than Lukas Podolski’s strike for Germany against Ecuador in 2013, which clocked in at seven seconds and was the previous record.
