Senegal's Amadou Sagna sets fastest U20 World Cup goal record

Amadou Sagna engraved his name in Fifa’s history books with his opener in Senegal’s 3-0 win over Tahiti on Thursday.

Sagna scored for the Young Lions of Teranga after just 9.6 seconds of the clash to set the record for the fastest goal ever in the U20 World Cup.

The previous fastest goal on record came in 1985 against Canada, when Nigeria’s Monday Odiaka found the net in just 14 seconds.
