The fastest goal in the history of football was scored in England. Video

Croydon midfielder Ryan Hall scored a goal in 2.31 seconds, the fastest goal in football history. The club plays in the Southern Counties East Football League, the tenth tier of the English league system. On February 17, Croydon met Cockfosters in the semifinals of the London Senior Trophy.

After the opening whistle, Hall immediately shot toward the goal. The visitors' goalkeeper was not ready for such a development of the attack and failed to cope with the shot.

On their social media accounts, Croydon appealed to the Guinness Book of Records to record a new world record.

"We have finally received the video of Ryan Hall scoring Croydon's first goal in the match against Cockfosters. The time of the goal was 2.31 seconds, which we understand is the fastest goal in football. Guinness Book, can you confirm this?" - the club said on social media.

The press service of the Book immediately responded in the comments.

It should be noted that the match ended with a score of 3:0 and Croydon was able to reach the final of the tournament for the first time in 15 years.

We would like to remind you that the fastest goal on the planet, listed in the Guinness Book of Records, belongs to Ricardo Oliveira. In 1998, the Rio Negro Capital forward took 2.8 seconds to open the scoring in a match against Soriano Interior.

On August 18, Serbian striker of the Salzburg football club Petar Ratkov scored the fastest goal in the history of the Austrian championship. The 20-year-old Belgrade native opened the scoring in the game against Blau-Weiss Linz in the 5th second.
