Blink and You’ll Miss It: Uchenna Kanu Becomes the Fastest Goal-Scorer and Brace-Maker in Cruz Azul History

Uchenna Kanu continues to redefine excellence and efficiency in the Liga MX Femenil. In the recent clash against Atlético de San Luis, the Nigerian international delivered a masterclass in clinical finishing, shattering club records within the first quarter-hour of play.

The 38-Second Milestone

Kanu wasted no time making her mark, finding the back of the net just 38 seconds after the opening whistle. This strike officially stands as the fastest goal in the history of Cruz Azul

Femenil and ranks among the top 5 fastest goals ever recorded in the league’s history.

Her ability to strike before the opposition can even settle has become a hallmark of her game, cementing her reputation as the most dangerous "early-game" threat in the league.

The Club’s Fastest Brace

The scoring clinic didn't stop there. By the 15th minute, Uchenna had already secured her second goal of the match. This achievement sets a new benchmark for the club, as it is the fastest brace ever scored by a Cruz Azul player. In just 15 minutes, Kanu demonstrated the world-class positioning and power that have made her a focal point of the league.

La Goleadora: Cruz Azul´s Leading Scorer

With this performance, Uchenna further solidifies her position as Cruz Azul’s top scorer for Clausura 2026. Her leadership on the frontline and her consistent goal-scoring form remain the driving force behind the team's offensive identity.

Despite Kanu’s historic individual performance and relentless effort on the pitch, the team fell just short in a hard-fought 3-2 battle. While the result was not the desired one, Uchenna’s record-breaking night stands as a testament to her elite caliber and dedication to the crest.
