Russian Third-Tier Side Mitos Score ‘Fastest Goal Ever’ vs Olympia Gelendzhik (Video)
By Chris Wright
While it’s yet to be rubber-stamped, there’s a good possibility that the fastest goal ever scored cropped up in the third-tier of Russian football earlier this month, when veteran Mitos midfielder Michail Osinov stepped up and cracked one home from kick-off against Olympia Gelendzhik on September 11th…
The official record holder is the 3.17 seconds it took for then-Atletico Mineiro striker Fred’s similar effort to loop into the net at the Sao Paulo Juniors Cup back in 2006, though Osinov’s effort is possibly a tad quicker – seems like we’re just waiting on an official verification now.

How about that Scottish guy who did the same thing (as far as I remember) in an under 21s game against Iceland a few months back?
See…this is where the rules have jumped the shark. That big white circle? Only two players are allowed inside it at kick-off. THERE IS NO OTHER REASON FOR IT. Yet, third man scores goal.
The Scots player was Chris Maguire but that was in the second half.
He cracked one out there.
