Germany lead Curaçao 3-1 at half-time in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener after Felix Nmecha scored the fastest goal of the tournament in the sixth minute. The strike set a new 2026 benchmark, surpassing the previous record set by Paraguay’s early own goal against the United States. Despite Curaçao’s historic first World Cup goal, Germany’s rapid start defined a high-scoring contest in Houston.
