Mahrez scores the fastest goal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations

Riyad Mahrez needed less than a minute and a half to score Algeria’s first goal against Sudan in their opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations group stage.

The Al-Ahli Saudi star received the ball inside the Sudanese penalty area and unleashed an unstoppable left-footed shot, giving Algeria the lead at 1 minute and 20 seconds – the fastest goal of the tournament so far in Morocco.

With this goal, Mahrez equaled Baghdad Bounedjah’s record as Algeria’s all-time top scorer, with 35 goals each, 11 behind Islam Slimani, who holds the record.

Mahrez is also Algeria’s all-time leading scorer in the Africa Cup of Nations, with this goal being his seventh for the national team in five appearances at the tournament.
