What happened

Julian Quinones scored the first goal of the 2026 World Cup in Mexico’s 2-0 win over South Africa, finding the net in the 9th minute in Thursday’s opener. The Mexico forward, who plays for Al-Qadsiah, became the first CONCACAF player to score the tournament’s opening goal. The article also reviews the fastest World Cup opening goals in history, a record still held by Argentina’s Orestes Corbatta in 1958.
