ADELAIDE Blue Eagles striker Kym Harris may have scored the world’s fastest goal.

Football Federation Australia officials have been asked to verify whether Harris’ goal — which is estimated to be less than three seconds from kick-off — is a new record, at least in Australia.

Adelaide City legend Damian Mori once held the world record for the fastest goal in 1996 when his 3.69-second effort cannoned into the back of the net at Hindmarsh Stadium during a national soccer league match against Sydney United.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Mori held the record from 1996 to 1998 when Uruguay’s Ricardo Olivera goal was timed at 2.8 secs.

Harris scored his stunner on Saturday during a Football Federation SA Cup round one match at Ramsey Park, Elizabeth in an extra time 4-3 win over Playford Patriots.

Harris said he talked to his twin brother Adam, who was by his side at kick-off before unleashing the rocket.

“Adam spotted the keeper off his line,’’ Kym said.

“I had a good look. He was off his line and I didn’t want to make it look too obvious.

“So I turned around and then when Adam laid the ball off I just hit it sweetly and it went in.

“I have never practised for it seriously but it went in.”

In an extra twist, Adam scored the winner in extra-time with three minutes left on the clock.
