Who Scored The First Ever Fifa World Cup Goal

The Socceroos all-time top goal scorer Tim Cahill has opened up to former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher about his iconic World Cup goal against the Netherlands and why it meant so much to him

While every World Cup had a ranking of the goalscorers, the first time an award was given was in 1982, under the name Golden Shoe. It was rechristened Golden Boot in 2010. 13 FIFA sometimes lists the top goalscorers of previous Cups among the Golden Boot winners. Kieran Trippier’s goal after four minutes and 44 seconds was the fastest goal scored in a World Cup semi-final since 1958. Croatia became the first team to play extra-time in three.

  • The 1994 FIFA World Cup was the 15th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national soccer teams. It was hosted by the United States and took place from June 17 to July 17, 1994, at nine venues across the country. The United States was chosen as the host by FIFA on July 4, 1988.
  • This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have occurred in the Finals tournament of the FIFA World Cup. Penalty shoot-outs were introduced as tie-breakers in the 1978 World Cup but did not occur before 1982. The first time a World Cup title was won by penalty shoot-out was in 1994. The only other time was in 2006. By the end of the 2018 edition, 30 shoot-outs have taken place in the World Cup.

Speaking to Carragher on his podcast The Greatest Game, Cahill described the moment that saw him score a contender for one of the best-ever World Cup goals during the 2014 campaign against the Netherlands.

But despite it receiving global applause, he refused to rank the thunderous volley with his weaker left foot as his number one goal.

'It’s one of the best goals I've scored,' Cahill said before he was stopped by Carragher who questioned why it was only one of the best and not his greatest goal.

Cahill went on to explain that it depends on how you rank goals.

'It was in Brazil, a volley, and I've scored some other really important goals in my career for my country and my clubs but it was about the way it went in,' he said.

'It was about the ball outside by Bresciano, and McGowan putting in a beautiful ball and how the two defenders were coming towards me.

1998 FIFA World Cup™

For the first time in the history of the World Cup final competition, the 'Golden Goal' rule will apply when the knock-out phase begins.

From the Round of 16 on, matches which are drawn after 90 minutes will go into extra time (2 x 15 minutes). The first team to score a goal in extra time will immediately be declared the winner. If there is no goal scored in 30 minutes of extra time, the match will be settled in the customary manner by a penalty shoot-out.

The 'Golden Goal' rule has been used by FIFA since the 1993 World Youth Championship in Australia and has become a regular feature of FIFA's youth competitions, the Olympic Football Tournaments and the FIFA/Confederations Cup.

The first World Cup 'Golden Goal' was scored on 16 November 1997 by a player who had only been on the pitch since the start of extra time. This was Japan's Masayuki Okada who scored in the 118th minute to clinch a 3-2 victory for his country against Iran in the AFC play-off match.

The two most famous 'Golden Goals' were both scored some two years ago. Only a few minutes into extra time, Germany's Oliver Bierhoff put an abrupt end to the dreams of the Czech Republic in the 1996 EURO final match. Later that year, Nwankwo Kanu sealed Brazil's fate in the Olympic semi-final, sending Nigeria to the gold medal match.
