How many seconds is the official fastest-goal record listed for La Liga?
Answer
7.22 seconds
The official fastest-goal record listed for La Liga is 7.22 seconds.
That mark belongs to Joseba Llorente, who scored for Real Valladolid against Espanyol on 20 January 2008. The timing measures how quickly the ball reached the net after the match began, making it one of the most striking entries in La Liga’s records.
The figure is often misremembered as a rounded seven seconds or confused with records from other competitions. The alternatives in this question—9.12, 6.90 and 8.05 seconds—do not match the listed La Liga record.
La Liga records also separate different kinds of speed achievements. For example, the fastest player to score a match’s first goal is listed separately from the fastest goal overall. These distinctions matter because a record can refer to the first goal, a player’s first league goal, or the earliest goal in competition history.
