On Saturday in Augsburg, Germany, Robin Fellhauer scored what appears to be the fastest goal in Bundesliga history by finding the net just 8 seconds after kickoff against Bayern Munich. According to stats provider Opta, this is the quickest goal since the league's formation in 1963. During the match, Bayern Munich initiated play and passed back to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but Fellhauer intercepted Neuer’s attempted clearance and scored easily into an unguarded net. The Bundesliga officially records goals down to the nearest second; previously, the record was shared between Kevin Volland and Karim Bellarabi, each needing 9 seconds for their respective goals in earlier matches against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
