Ilkay Gündogan breaks a significant record and makes history in the FA Cup

Midfielder Ilkay Gündogan made history by scoring an early goal in the FA Cup Final, which took place on Saturday, June 3rd, at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London. The German player surprised everyone by finding the back of the net just 13 seconds after the start of the match between Manchester City and Manchester United.

Gündogan's goal came immediately after the kick-off when he received a clearance from goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno, who sent the ball into the opposing area. With great opportunism, the German midfielder collected the loose ball on the edge of the box and expertly placed it into the far corner of the goal, giving Manchester City a valuable advantage.

This early goal by Ilkay Gündogan becomes the fastest in the history of the FA Cup, the oldest club tournament in the world with 152 years of existence. The previous record was held by Frenchman Louis Saha, who scored after 25 seconds in the 2009 FA Cup final while playing for Everton against Chelsea.

Gündogan's feat was celebrated with jubilation by Manchester City, as their star midfielder provided them with a dream start in the final. Now, the team hopes to maintain their momentum and secure victory to claim the prestigious FA Cup title in an exciting showdown against their arch-rivals, Manchester United.
