Christoph Baumgartner of Austria has broken a history held by Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu.<\/p>\n

The RB Leipzig midfielder scored the fastest-ever international goal as Austria beat Slovakia 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The goal came in just six seconds after kickoff as the midfielder fired into the bottom corner after skipping past three challenges.<\/p>\n

He has now taken the record from Germany\u2019s Lukas Podolski, who scored for Germany after seven seconds in a friendly against Ecuador in 2013.<\/p>\n

Onuachu held the record of the fastest goal scored in an international involving an African team after he found back of the net ten seconds in a friendly between Nigeria and Egypt at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on March 27, 2019.<\/p>\n

In the Iranian Professional League, Godwin Mensha, an unknown Nigerian player, also has a record of the fastest recorded goal scored by a Nigerian player, opening the scoring after just eight seconds in Mes Rafsanjan\u2019s 4-0 win against Malavan in 2023.<\/p>\n
