Quickest goals in WC history:

11 sec. Sukur (2002)

15 sec. Masek (1962)

25 sec. Lehner (1934)

28 sec. Robson (1982)

29 sec. DEMPSEY (2014)

Fifth fastest goal in World Cup history:

Clocked at just 29 seconds, Dempsey's early goal was the fifth-fastest in the history of the FIFA World Cup™ - a list led by Hakan Sukur's 11-second effort against Korea Republic in 2002. A beautifully crafted strike it was too, with Dempsey linking with Jermaine Jones on the left, jinking past John Boye and crashing an unstoppable left-foot shot in off the far post.
