In a remarkable feat, Turkish defender Merih Demiral has set a new record for the fastest goal ever scored in the playoff stage of the European Championship finals.
During the match against Austria, Demiral opened the scoring just 57 seconds into the game, surpassing the previous record held by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored in 1 minute and 40 seconds at Euro 2016.
Demiral’s historic goal not only secured his place in the record books but also provided an early advantage for Turkey in their crucial playoff match. This impressive achievement highlights Demiral’s quick reflexes and keen sense of positioning, contributing significantly to his team’s performance in the tournament.
