Paraguay midfielder Matias Galarza needed just 65 seconds to find the back of the net against Turkey, and that early strike was enough to activate the campaign's unique payout formula, rewarding customers who had backed the Over 2.5 Goals market even before the match had settled into rhythm.

The goal became the latest example of how Mozzart Bet's "Bao First 10 Minutes, Lipwa For 3+" World Cup campaign continues to turn early moments into immediate rewards.

Under the promotion, any customer who places a qualifying bet on the Over 2.5 Goals market receives an early winning settlement if a goal is scored within the opening 10 minutes of the match, regardless of the final result.

That meant that although Turkey and Paraguay eventually played out a low-scoring encounter that ended 1-0, customers who had selected the 3+ goals option were already celebrating within minutes of kick-off.

The promotion applies to qualifying pre-match and live bets, including singles, multiples and system bets placed using real money, bonuses, free bets or promotional vouchers, provided the wager is registered before the goal that activates the offer.

Mozzart Bet has, however, clarified that goals subsequently overturned through VAR reviews do not qualify for the promotion.

The Turkey-Paraguay fixture is only the latest World Cup match to reward customers through the "1=3" formula.

Earlier in the tournament, Scotland's clash against Morocco, the Czech Republic's meeting with South Africa, Mexico's encounter with South Africa, and Portugal's draw against DR Congo also triggered payouts after goals arrived within the opening 10 minutes.

Across some of the matches that have already triggered the offer, hundreds of winning tickets have been recorded, with Scotland vs Morocco accounting for 318 winning single tickets and Turkey vs Paraguay producing another 176.

Overall, more than 1,149 tickets containing qualifying 3+ selections have already been awarded through the promotion.

With the tournament now entering its decisive phase and knockout places at stake, Mozzart Bet customers will be hoping more early goals continue to arrive as teams push for victory.

The goal that changed everything

On the pitch, it took just 65 seconds for Galarza to make history.

The Paraguayan midfielder capitalised on a bright start to score what is now the fastest goal of the tournament, giving his side an advantage they would defend for the remainder of the match.

Paraguay's task became significantly more difficult before halftime after Miguel Almiron was sent off following a VAR review, forcing the South Americans to play with 10 men for much of the contest.

Turkey dominated possession and came close to finding an equaliser, with Mert Muldur striking both the crossbar and post with a powerful header, but Paraguay held firm to secure a crucial victory.

The result guaranteed the United States top spot in Group D while eliminating Turkey from the competition after a second successive defeat.

Paraguay will now head into their final group-stage match against Australia knowing victory could secure second place and a place in the knockout rounds.

For thousands of Mozzart Bet customers, however, the most important moment of the evening had arrived long before the final whistle.

With Galarza's 65-second strike turning an ordinary World Cup match into another winning chapter of the operator's "1=3" campaign.
