Infographic: Kevin Volland's nine-second goal
Cologne - Some 364 days since Karim Bellarabi set a Bundesliga best mark for the fastest goal scored in a clash with Borussia Dortmund, the feat was matched* by Kevin Volland of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The 21-year-old's goal against FC Bayern München on Matchday 2 was somewhat overshadowed by the 2-1 defeat suffered by the Sinsheimers, but the Germany U-21 captain nevertheless wrote his name into the Bundesliga history books. Here's how he did it:
*(Both men's goals were timed at 9 seconds, which is why the record is shared as only whole seconds are considered when timing the speed of goals scored. However, Volland's effort crossed the line a matter of milliseconds - 0.3 to be precise - before that of Bellarabi's).
