The Wolfsburg player was brought on in the 84th minute with the score at 3-1 and converted a cross from Alexander Isak with a first-time finish just 18 seconds later. 18 seconds?! According to ‘Opta’, only Richard Morales was quicker for Uruguay at a FIFA World Cup since 1966, back in 2002 (16 seconds).
