8 seconds: Augsburg scores fastest Bundesliga goal after Manuel Neuer blunder
AUGSBURG, Germany (AP) --- Augsburg player Robin Fellhauer scored what appeared
to be the fastest goal in Bundesliga history on Saturday by finding the net in
just 8 seconds after kickoff against Bayern Munich.
Stats provider Opta said it was the fastest goal ever scored in the German top
division since its formation in 1963.
Bayern kicked off the game and played the ball back to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer
but Fellhauer closed in and intercepted Neuer's attempt at a chipped clearance.
He then tapped the ball into the empty net.
The Bundesliga recognizes goals to the nearest second and the record was
jointly held by Kevin Volland, who needed nine seconds to score for Hoffenheim
against Bayern in 2015, and Karim Bellarabi, whose goal for Bayer Leverkusen
against Borussia Dortmund in 2014 also took nine seconds.
