The fastest goal in the history of the Asian Cup was recorded on Thursday as the United Arab Emirates beat Bahrain 2-1 to advance to the quarterfinals.
The game was only 14 seconds old when Ali Ahmed Mabkhout fired the UAE in front.
Bahrain started the match from the kick-off, but after three passes they were robbed of possession and the UAE were in.
Omar Abdulrahman clipped a superb ball over the top of Bahrain’s defence and Mabkhout calmly controlled it with his right foot before slotting past goalkeeper Sayed Abbas with his left.
It was Mabkhout’s third goal of the Asian Cup, making him the tournament’s top scorer.
