Colón's three quickest goals this century: the ranking shifts again | OneFootball

Colón added another page to its statistical history thanks to the early goal scored by Nacho Lago. The Sabalero forward needed just 26 seconds to open the scoring against Central Norte in the 2026 season, a strike that quickly became one of the club’s fastest so far in the 21st century.

With that goal, Lago moved into second place in the ranking of the fastest Sabalero goals of the last 25 years, behind only a record that has stood since 2006.

First place still belongs to Sebastián Malandra, who on September 16, 2006, stunned Vélez at the Brigadier López with a goal after just 17 seconds of play during the Apertura tournament. That strike remains etched in the fans’ memory not only because of how quickly it came, but also because the match was suspended before halftime after an assistant referee was assaulted. Even so, Malandra’s record remains untouched and is still Colón’s fastest goal in the top flight during the 21st century.

Completing the podium is Brian Guille, who had scored after 31 seconds against Deportivo Madryn in 2024. At the time, his goal became one of the fastest in the club’s recent history, until Lago’s emergence two years later pushed him down to third place.

Colón’s fastest goals of the 21st century

All three share one characteristic: they struck practically from the opening whistle, highlighting the intensity with which Colón approached those matches. In barely half a minute, each of them managed to break the deadlock and earn a place in the club’s statistics.

Lago’s goal not only opened the scoring, but also etched his name among the Sabalero’s historic marks, in a ranking reserved for the earliest goals of this century.
