In the name of Allah the most Gracious the Most Merciful

The answer to your question is as follows:

In the above mentioned case, you have to repeat the fast. Doing iftar mistakenly before time even by 2 minutes invalidates the fast; although there is no kaffarah in this state.

And Allah knows best
