Veteran German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (40 years old) made a grave mistake that resulted in conceding the fastest goal in the history of the league after only 8 seconds.
The shot began with striker Luis Diaz returning the ball, taking the kick-off, to Manuel Neuer.
Neuer failed to tame the ball as required, before he tried to scatter it, but it collided with striker Robin Wielhauer, who pressured him and took advantage of its bounce, to run towards the empty goal and put the ball into the net, scoring the fastest goal in the history of the German League.
The League confirmed that Robin Wielhauer's goal represents a new record, as it came within less than nine seconds after the whistle blew at the start of the match.
Thus, Wielhauer broke the previous record for the fastest goal in the history of the league, which was recorded by the player Kevin Volland, who also scored against Bayern Munich, with a Hoffenheim shirt in August 2015, and the Bayer Leverkusen player, Karim Bellarabi, who scored against Borussia Dortmund in August 2014, after they both scored a goal 9 seconds after the start of the match.
