Christian Benteke set a new World Cup
record for the fastest goal in the competition, including the finals,
scoring after seven seconds in Belgium’s qualifier against Gibraltar on
Monday.
The 25-year-old Crystal Palace striker,
who was to bag a hat-trick, picked up the ball in the first action of
the Group H qualifier in Faro and racing towards goal with the Gibraltar
defence in disarray left goalie Deren Ibrahim with no chance.
