List of footballers with the most goals in a single game

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of players with the most goals in a football game. This list only includes players who have scored the most multiple goals in first class or fully professional matches for country or club.

The current world record for an international is held by Archie Thompson, who scored 13 goals against American Samoa in Australia's 31–0 victory during the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification. David Zdrilic scored 8 goals.

In November 2022, Shokhan Nooraldin Salihi scored 15 goals in the match of Al-Hilal against Sama in the 2022–23 Saudi Women's Premier League.[1] In this match, Al-Hilal beat Sama 18–0. She broke the previous record of Passang Tshering for most goals in any top-flight match with 14 each.

In the most prolific European football leagues, the Premier League (and the Football League First Division before it), La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga, the top scorers per game have much lower tallies: seven in England and Spain and six in Italy and Germany. The last player in these leagues to score seven goals in a match was László Kubala in 1952 for Barcelona.

Players are listed by number of goals scored in an individual game. Players on equal goals are listed in chronological order.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In March 1938, Nazi Germany annexed Austria in what is commonly referred to as the Anschluss, with the Gauliga Ostmark formed as a consequence. Austria and the Austrian football championship thereby ceased to exist until the end of the Second World War.[18] The Gauliga Ostmark and Gauliga Donau-Alpenland titles from 1938 to 1944, excluding the 1944–45 season which was not completed, are recognised as official Austrian football championships by the Austrian Bundesliga.[19]
