⚡️ Club World Cup: he scores 18 seconds after coming on, first since... | OneFootball

Maximum efficiency.

Victorious in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, Sweden was able to rely on its bench to hurt Tunisia (5-1).

Coming on late in the game, Mattias Svanberg found the breakthrough by converting a free kick just 18 seconds after stepping onto the pitch at Monterrey Stadium.

The Wolfsburg player was actually just three seconds away from entering the history books, as only one man has scored a faster goal off the bench at a World Cup.

For that, we have to go back to the 2002 World Cup, when Richard Morales found the net just 16 seconds after coming on during Uruguay vs. Senegal (3-3).

Between the win, this record goal, and the restrained joy of brace scorer Yasin Ayari, Sweden experienced an emotion-filled evening.
