At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, a highlight match was played at the Maracana Stadium, and Argentina's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) took place in a moment that will be remembered in football history. Just 130 seconds into the game, the silence was broken in an extremely rare way, witnessing the fastest own goal in World Cup history.

Soon after the start of the game, Argentina star Lionel Messi showed his extraordinary threat on the pitch when he received a pinpoint free-kick from the left. In the next attack, Messi and his teammate Rojo teamed up to throw Bosnia-Herzegovina's defensive line into disarray. A pass from Rojo in the box, trying to find a team-mate, was unexpectedly sent to the feet of Bosnian right wing-back Kolasinac. Kolasinac accidentally hit the ball into his own goal while trying to clear the ball, and at this moment, Argentina led 1-0, so this own goal became the fastest own goal in the opening of the World Cup.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was not just remembered for this own goal. A total of five own goals were scored in this World Cup, the second highest number of own goals in the history of the World Cup, after the 1966 World Cup. From Brazil vs. Croatia, France vs. Honduras, Portugal vs. Ghana, France vs. Nigeria, every own goal was a turning point in the game, and it also reflected the nervousness and pressure of the players on the pitch.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that this match between Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina was not only because of the own goal that opened 130 seconds and became the focus. It also symbolizes the competitive and unpredictable nature of high-level international competitions, where even world-class teams and players can make fatal mistakes. This match, as well as the 2014 World Cup, proved once again that the charm of football lies in its inadversity, and that every touch of the ball can be the key to changing the fate of the game.

The fastest own goal at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was not just a record, it became an indelible memory for many fans and players, reminding people that every minute and second of a football match is full of uncertainties and challenges.
