Nigerian striker Olakunle Olusegun scores fastest goal in Russian league, fans react
Olakunle Olusegun scored under 9 seconds (8.9)
Nigerian international Olakunle Olusegun scored the fastest goal in the history of the Russian Football National League in FC Krasnodar’s defeat to Rostov on Sunday, October 19.
The 20-year-old striker scored under nine seconds (8.9s) at a time the Commentator was still calling out the line-ups for both teams.
Despite writing his name in the history books, his side FC Krasnodar couldn't capitalize on the early lead as they lost 3-2 away at Rostov.
Olusegun represented Nigeria at the U-17 African Cup of Nations in 2019. He also represented the Golden Eaglets at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Some fans back home took to social media to commend the young striker on his new record.
Here are some reactions
