Fastest Bundesliga goals: Where does Diaz’s strike rank? | OneFootball

What a start to the Bundesliga top match! Hardly had referee Daniel Siebert blown the whistle for the game between Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Bayern when the ball was already in the net. After just 15 seconds, Luis Díaz put the German record champions in the lead. Where does this goal rank in the history of the fastest Bundesliga goals?

After a long kick from Manuel Neuer, the Munich team combined lightning-fast down the right side. Serge Gnabry won the ball after an inaccurate clearance attempt by Robin Koch and laid it off perfectly to the center, where Díaz finished from close range.

With this, the 28-year-old not only scored the fastest goal of the current Bundesliga season, but also one of the earliest goals in FC Bayern's history.

Díaz with a historic mark – but no Bundesliga record

The Colombian's lightning start was spectacular, but it wasn't quite enough for the all-time Bundesliga best list. According to the official DFL statistics, Díaz narrowly missed making it into the top 10 fastest goals. This list is still led by Kevin Volland, who scored for TSG Hoffenheim against – of all teams – FC Bayern after just nine seconds in the 2015/16 season.

Tenth place is shared by Mohamed Zidan (2006) and Ronald Worm (1974), who each scored after 14 seconds. With his 15 seconds, Díaz is thus directly behind this group – a notable achievement that still goes down in club history.

Díaz draws level with Musiala in Bayern's ranking

At the German record champions, Díaz at least made it into the top 3 fastest Bayern goals of all time with his strike. Only Giovane Élber (1998) with eleven seconds and Lothar Matthäus (1986) with 13 seconds were faster in FCB's Bundesliga history.

Díaz shares third place with Jamal Musiala, who also scored after exactly 15 seconds last season.
