Watch: Christian Benteke scores fastest goal in World Cup, qualifying history
Christian Benteke set a world record Monday, scoring seven seconds into Belgium's World Cup qualifier against Gibraltar for the fastest goal in the history of World Cup or qualifying play.
Benteke cut off a slight backward pass, beat one defender and finished with relative ease, giving Belgium the early 1-0 lead. That was doubled 18 minutes after by Axel Witsel, sending the Red Devils on their way to a third straight three-point haul to open Group H play in UEFA's qualifying tournament. Belgium beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-0 on Friday.
