This game holds the record for the biggest margin of victory in a FIFA senior men's tournament. The previous record was nine goals which occurred three times: the first occurred in 1954 when Hungary defeated South Korea 9–0, the second was during the 1974 FIFA World Cup as Yugoslavia defeated Zaire by the same score of 9–0, and the third and final happened in 1982 when Hungary dispatched El Salvador 10–1.[6]
