Forward “Ural” spent less than half a minute on scoring.
The current Cup of Russia has already presented the fans with several unexpected outcomes and cool moments, but the players are not going to stop: in the Cup group stage match between Ural and Torpedo, the performance began from the first seconds!
The hosts hammered the ball into the net in the first minute. Very fast start!
High pressure paid off
In quartet D, Yekaterinburg and Muscovites scored 3 points each – both teams beat Sochi, but lost to the group favorite CSKA. The victory in the face-to-face meeting significantly increased the chances of the team to continue the fight for the trophy along the RPL path. Accordingly, both teams had plenty of motivation. And the Ural players were the first to translate their mood into the result, having opened the score already in the 1st minute of the meeting!
The swift attack of the “bumblebees” in the first seconds choked in the opponent’s penalty area, but the high pressure of the Urals led to a clean tackle. Once again, having taken possession of the ball, the hosts did not stand on ceremony for a long time: Yuri Gazinsky gave a pass to Alexei Kashtanov, who, having figured out the fight with the defender of the Avtozavodtsev, hammered the ball into the net already at the 27th second of the first half!

The account was opened so quickly that the thought crept in – did Kashtanov set a record for the speed of scoring? No, I didn’t! In the history of domestic tournaments before the formation of the Premier League (now RPL), the record belongs to Alexei Bychkov – in 1999, as part of Shinnik, he scored against Rotor in the 9th second. As for the RPL, the league record is the goal of Emmanuel Emenike – in the 2012/13 season, the Nigerian forward of Spartak hit the gates of Alania in the 10th second!
The fastest goal in the history of football was scored in 1995 by the Australian striker Adelaide City. Damien Mori entered the Guinness Book of Records: immediately after the starting whistle and a quick pass with a partner, Mori delivered a powerful shot on goal … the goalkeeper did not take the ball. Experts found that the ball crossed the goal line 3.68 seconds after the start of the game.
Nevertheless, the goal of Alexei Kashtanov will clearly enter the top in terms of rate of fire, at least in the framework of Russian tournaments.
