Yunus Akgün Scores Galatasaray's Fastest Goal in the Champions League

Galatasaray visited French side Lille in the third week of the UEFA Champions League. The yellow-reds started the match at Pierre Mauroy Stadium with a goal.

Yunus Akgün found the net in the 65th second of the game and put his team 1-0 ahead. The goal came before the second minute of the match had ended.

The move began on the left wing. Barış Alper Yılmaz received the ball, beat his opponent with a body feint and entered the penalty area. On the cross the national team player delivered with the outside of his right foot, the Lille defense could not clear the ball. Yunus Akgün found the ball in front of goal and shook the net with a close-range shot that did not go wide.

This goal became Galatasaray's fastest in Champions League history. The previous record belonged to Nigerian striker Osimhen. Osimhen had scored in the 3rd minute of the match against Bodo/Glimt played in Istanbul on 22 October 2025. Galatasaray won that match 3-1. Yunus Akgün surpassed this record with his goal in the 65th second.
