Benteke scores fastest World Cup qualifying goal ever

The Belgium striker made history as he found the back of the net after just seven seconds during his side's clash against Gibraltar on Monday evening

Christian Benteke made history by scoring the fastest goal in World Cup qualifying after just seven seconds against Gibraltar on Monday.

Belgium did not even kick-off in the Group H clash in Faro, with Gibraltar losing possession immediately after the opening whistle.

Ryan Casciaro was caught sleeping on the ball and Benteke stole in to snatch the ball away from him before running clear to smash in a powerful finish.
