Amazingly, two fastest goals in the history of national team games were scored on the same day of 23 March.
An Austrian forward Christoph Baumgartner scored just 6 seconds after kick-off in the friendly vs Slovakia.
His German colleague Florian Wirtz took only 7 seconds to score in the friendly vs France.
They both have almost simultaneously beaten the previous world record of Christian Benteke (Belgium) set in 2016 (8.1 seconds).
Baumgartner is now sealed his name as the new recordsman.
