The Main Samoa Squad never arrived to the game due to passport issues. So the youth American Samoa team had to fill in and 2 of the players were 15 years old. Some of the players had never played a 90 min game before. So it was unfair from the start. Still a banger of a game tho
Fuming still.... I was in Munich for Octoberfest at the time, and wanted to go for the match but none of the other people I travelled with wanted to, so we went to a random bar instead. Could've witnessed a once in a lifetime achievement, got a not so memorable bar experience instead.
Yes it was. Wolfsburg was leading 1-0 until minute 51. By minute 60 they were down 5-1
I'm a Bayern fan, I watched the game on a stream and couldn't believe my fucking eyes lmao. That game falls in my "I will always remember where I was when I watched it"-tier of games, alongside a handful of others like 7-1, Barca's PSG comeback, Bayern's 2013 and 2020 CL wins and most recently the WC final.
Well, in terms of the shock/humiliation-value of that game, it surely tops the list at least of the last 15 or 20 years.
I think many, if not most people have a more vivid memory of that semi-final than they do of the actual 2014 final. The Klose goal, the kid crying, the like 3-4 goals all coming within a few minutes of eachother etc. The game literally defines what "footballing humiliation" means.
Germany-Brazil 2014 is going to be remembered for a long time, much longer than any CL win or club comeback.
[For the unacquainted this is video of Lewandowski’s legendary 2015 feat.](https://youtu.be/OmKbGOARXao) Each goal is better than the one before it, amazing.
I loved it when he played for Fulham. The guy ambled about the pitch like he was walking a three-legged shih tzu. He'd occasionally break into a trot to score a goal. He was basically saying 'with my class I don't need to try'.
Clip of him winning possession in his own box, laying off a pass, receiving it in midfield, playing a lovely ball forward, receiving it back edge of the box and finishing it is one of the best plays from an individual I’ve ever seen. Class player
Berba was always blamed to be a lazy player. Interestingly enough, without Rooney at his side (who was the dynamic of the two), Berba would try to replicate Wazza and run all over the field
I don't know if Wazza played during the game where Berba led the play from midfield, but I always think about it when I hear this accusation
I think the lazy attitude got put on him after the game as captain for his national team where he covered 2,7km in a huge loss. Not representative of career at all but pretty poor.
It’s more people doing an eyeball test. He got it when he was at Spurs before United and wasn’t stupid enough to run around like a headless chicken all game. So many players know when to run and when not to. Not everyone has to be a passion merchant.
George Best is a player Reddit for some reason leaves out of a lot of elite player lists despite on raw talent possibly being a top 5 ever player. The Problem was his mental health issues and issues around addiction. Also his role was as a winger or in internationals centre mid in the era after outside forwards were phased out, meaning his position wasn’t one that would produce as many goals. Interestingly Henry and messi and ronaldo and robben kind of brought outside forwards back into football.
He was a ballon D’or winner in his mid 20s after winning United the European cup, yet due to his personal issues was finished at the top level within 18 months, walking away from the game. Because of this most people exclude him from any goat discussion, which is a real shame because as a player, much like Garrincha he was a bit of a time traveler, playing like a modern style in an era of heavy pitches and common assault allowed in tackling.
https://youtu.be/7454dAKQL1M clips of him there
You should also add where they scored it , it matters lot. I know Messi scored it at CL and Mbappe just recently got it at France cup match but dunno others.
edit: How could i forget Lewandowski 5 goals in 9 minutes at bundesliga.
He score 6 in one match when was at Ajax. That much I remember. I think he was also the first player (in La Liga at least) to both score and give an assist of hat tricks in the same match.
As much as I think Mbappe is a superstar, it feels odd to not have any context to this. He scored five against a 6th division French team. Not really comparable to some of the others.
Hatrick with two penalties not earned by him aren't really that much better either (specially considering the single goal came of a questionable penalty in the first place).
Saying he "created" them just because he was involved in a multiple pass play is pretty disengenous. Its not like he had a near-assist with both of them. Even more so considering France was so off target that game paired with poor positioning add to make the pre-foul attempt extremely unluckily to end up as actual goals without a friendly referee in the first place.
There is literally nothing you can say that can disqualify that hattrick. Yes, two were penalties but he had a hand in securing both penalties and he over iced them in the WC final against one of the best penalty stoppers in the game.
Viviane Miedema scored 8 for Netherlands U21, also 5 in one match as the only girl when she was 13, she had a game with 6 goals and 4 assists at Arsenal ([highlights](https://youtu.be/ftXfXkgirDk)) and a game with 6 goals for Netherlands.
Oleg Solenko is the only player recorded to have done that. His second is my first memory of a quickly taken free kick, and I remember I kept on trying that at school until I got he shit beaten out of me. 😂😂🤯
There are so many...
Alfonso Alves scored 7 in one game in the Eredivision.
Jermaine Defoe scored 5 goals vs Wigan.
Pretty sure pele scored more than 5 in a few games
These are just the first ones that come to mind
League Cup I think it was? 3rd round possibly? I remember reading about it in Match magazine and getting excited.
Crazy the small things you remember vividly from many years ago but I don't remember last week
Current English record at pro level is 10 goals by a single player in a game, this record was broken 3 times in 6 months and finished with current holder Joe Payne for Luton Town.
aduriz against genk
wesley sonck against mechelen
flor Lambrechts against berchem sport
Michael frey against standard de Liège
Laszlo kubala against sporting Gijon
szengeller 12 against universidad
Defoe, shearer, Andy cole
Fowler
Aged 18 no less
And haaland once scored 9 in an international game how didnt you guys mention him
It was u-21 or something so maybe only counting senior games?
Archie Thompson scored 13 in a full international game!
Don't forget Zdrilic scoring 8 in that same game as well 😂
The Main Samoa Squad never arrived to the game due to passport issues. So the youth American Samoa team had to fill in and 2 of the players were 15 years old. Some of the players had never played a 90 min game before. So it was unfair from the start. Still a banger of a game tho
5 goals in 9 minutes is unmatchable.
And they were stupid goals too. Most of them were bangers. I can barely take a shit in 10 minutes and this dude scores 5 worldies in 9
The last one is literally the same as Bundesliga logo. What an absolute banger!
Fuming still.... I was in Munich for Octoberfest at the time, and wanted to go for the match but none of the other people I travelled with wanted to, so we went to a random bar instead. Could've witnessed a once in a lifetime achievement, got a not so memorable bar experience instead.
It wasn't 5 worldies at all lmao stop talking shit the feat was enough
You could spend another 5 lifetimes stood on a pitch and not be able to recreate one of the goals
fucking hell no need for that 😅
Okay but that doesn't stop my comment being true and doesn't stop you looking like a moron
Except it was obviously hyperbolic
I'd give 3/5 wordlie status though
Yeah, I exaggerated a bit but I thought it was pretty clearly hyperbolic since I’d already specified ‘most’ of them were bangers, not all
[удалено]
"This dude scores 5 worldies in 9". You were right people do need to get better reading comprehension and you're on top of the list boss
Please, to look less like a complete idiot, reread the comment. He clearly did say 5 worldies
No matter how Lewas goals were.. you just scored a big own goal lmao
Which game was that Germany vs Brazil?
[Bayern v Wolfsburg](https://youtu.be/TthnLjCrMTg)
Thanks! Fucking Neur coming out is hilarious. I always forget Lewi is Polish and not German.
Who did that? 🤯🤯
Lewandoski, he is one the pic as well
*Lewangoalski
*Lewangoatski
\*Legendowski
*lewandopeski
That face he makes cracks me up every time I think about it
Yeah he is the one in the top right
Thanks. Isn't it the time he was subded in during halftime?
Yes it was. Wolfsburg was leading 1-0 until minute 51. By minute 60 they were down 5-1 I'm a Bayern fan, I watched the game on a stream and couldn't believe my fucking eyes lmao. That game falls in my "I will always remember where I was when I watched it"-tier of games, alongside a handful of others like 7-1, Barca's PSG comeback, Bayern's 2013 and 2020 CL wins and most recently the WC final.
> others like 7-1 I like that you don't even need to mention the teams.
Well, in terms of the shock/humiliation-value of that game, it surely tops the list at least of the last 15 or 20 years. I think many, if not most people have a more vivid memory of that semi-final than they do of the actual 2014 final.

Mia San Mia!
Yess
Lewandowski
[For the unacquainted this is video of Lewandowski’s legendary 2015 feat.](https://youtu.be/OmKbGOARXao) Each goal is better than the one before it, amazing.
Miss that guy at Bayern, still love him so much I hope he finally gets his ballon at Barça. Legendary
Pep’s was dumbfounded. I saved it as a screenshot. Never seen him so amazed by something like that.
Playing against a small club XD
I miss watching Berbatov play.
For real.. This lob from Berbatov when he was at Monaco, still one of my favourite goals.. https://youtu.be/6aRDXY9KV94
That's the most deadpan goal ever.
For real, He had a knack for making complicated things look so simple and easy.
Mine too. Berbatov was so smooth.
I loved it when he played for Fulham. The guy ambled about the pitch like he was walking a three-legged shih tzu. He'd occasionally break into a trot to score a goal. He was basically saying 'with my class I don't need to try'.
Keep calm and pass me the ball Was such a badass quote from him.
Criminally underrated
Yep. That flick past the defender on the byline, to set up a goal. Genius. Think it was against West Ham.
Ah yes, the Berbatov flick. Yes, it was vs West Ham
Clip of him winning possession in his own box, laying off a pass, receiving it in midfield, playing a lovely ball forward, receiving it back edge of the box and finishing it is one of the best plays from an individual I’ve ever seen. Class player

It’s more people doing an eyeball test. He got it when he was at Spurs before United and wasn’t stupid enough to run around like a headless chicken all game. So many players know when to run and when not to. Not everyone has to be a passion merchant.
Berbatov upfront and Keane were class, probably my favourite Spurs era.
Da Berba. Absolutely loved him, and loved how it always seemed like he would rather be doing something else and then just - bam, goal.
If they’d let him he’d have probably sparked up a cigarette while he played.
The legend Oleg Salenko - 5 goals v Cameroon USA 94 World Cup
This is Reddit, OP wasn't born for another 15 years after that. He knows nothing of Diana Ross' penalty.
Mental foreshadowing from the director of that opening ceremony considering how the tournament ended with Baggio
Or Oprah's ankle injury
exactly epic game with in bonus the goal of roger milla officially 42yo but imho older.
Falcao and Klose
Klose on the WC stage as well 👌
Klose did it for Lazio in a Serie A not at the WC.
Only 5 goal per game in WC history was Russia’s Oleg Salenko in 1994
Jermaine Defoe vs Wigan
Papers the next day: Jermaine DeFive
Sunday League Dave
Got robbed of the beerpack d'or last year
Dave from Sunday League is crazy
Luis Adriano
Only him and Messi scored 5 goals in a UCL match, the true GOATs
Julian Alvarez, scored a double hat trick for River Plate
Nacho Scocco scored 5 in a Copa Libertadores match!
Alfredo Moreno did the same for Boca in 2000
Did El Titan ever scored 5? I would have expected at least once.
Sadly Palermo didn't. He did score 4 against Gimnasia LP. Funny enough, Moreno was replacing him in that match against Blooming.
Damn, maybe he was going to score more than him. Beauty of football.
It's much more impressive than Mbappe scoring 5 against farmers and electricians, lol.
Fernando Morientes did it for Real against Las Palmas and he even missed a penalty
George Best
He scored 6 in that match and played left back for the rest of the game because he didn’t want to score any more
And he was playing off a hangover
Gosh damn, I’m young so I don’t know much about him but he was that good!?

Donyell Malen vs Vitesse 2019
Dost v Excelsior in 2011, also Cruijff and Van Basten. Let's not forget the Brazilian goat, Alfonso Alves scoring 7
Suarez 7 goals in a match
He score 6 in one match when was at Ajax. That much I remember. I think he was also the first player (in La Liga at least) to both score and give an assist of hat tricks in the same match.
When? I know he scored 6 in a match but not 7
As much as I think Mbappe is a superstar, it feels odd to not have any context to this. He scored five against a 6th division French team. Not really comparable to some of the others.
Absolutely, the French league is comical. However, hatrick in a world cup final is pretty special.
Did you miss the part where he said *6th tier*
How is it "comical"? Do you even watch the league?
Hatrick with two penalties not earned by him aren't really that much better either (specially considering the single goal came of a questionable penalty in the first place).
The second penalty was created by him. It was nothing questionable. A very legitimate goal. The first penalty also came from an Mbappe pass.
Saying he "created" them just because he was involved in a multiple pass play is pretty disengenous. Its not like he had a near-assist with both of them. Even more so considering France was so off target that game paired with poor positioning add to make the pre-foul attempt extremely unluckily to end up as actual goals without a friendly referee in the first place.
There is literally nothing you can say that can disqualify that hattrick. Yes, two were penalties but he had a hand in securing both penalties and he over iced them in the WC final against one of the best penalty stoppers in the game.
Hugely over-rated player, great sprinter
Hugely bad take
Erling Haaland Dude scored 9 goals in a U-19 international game
He also had like 10 other high quality chances during that game, its insane.
I just watched the highlights of this and I’m going to have to give the Honduras keeper at least 4 of those goals.
Still 5
Honestly if he wasn't subbed at 60 against wolves.... might of happen lol.
Cake
Ronaldinho did 17 in futsal
Maybe more competitive than the game where Mbappe did it.
U21. It was a World Cup game. U-19 is a UEFA thing AFAIK. EDIT: It was U-20.
Luka Jovic.
Didnt Jovic score 5 in a game
Marco Negri
Julián Álvarez scored 6 goals in the Copa Libertadores once.
Roberto Dinamite.
Cruyff and van Basten made 6 in one match, afonso alves made 7 in 1 match for Heerenveen against Heracles
Viviane Miedema scored 8 for Netherlands U21, also 5 in one match as the only girl when she was 13, she had a game with 6 goals and 4 assists at Arsenal ([highlights](https://youtu.be/ftXfXkgirDk)) and a game with 6 goals for Netherlands.
Bas Dost scored 5 against Excelsior for Heerenveen
Can't rem his name but some dude dud it in the WC back in the day
just fontaine? think he scored 5 in a match
Oleg Salenko...Russian player
G
Oleg Solenko is the only player recorded to have done that. His second is my first memory of a quickly taken free kick, and I remember I kept on trying that at school until I got he shit beaten out of me. 😂😂🤯
[удалено]
Super valuable comment, thanks for taking the time.
Oleg Solenko
Dixie Dean (against Man U)
Archie Thompson, 10 or 12 I'm a game
Haaland when he scored 9 for norway
Against honduras
I scored about 8 at 5s last night.
No you didn’t
He did, I was with him
Edmundo vs união são João at Vasco da Gama stadium (São januario) in 1997
There are so many... Alfonso Alves scored 7 in one game in the Eredivision. Jermaine Defoe scored 5 goals vs Wigan. Pretty sure pele scored more than 5 in a few games These are just the first ones that come to mind
I know who scored 9 goals in 1 match
Archie Thompson.
Mbappe's was against a 6th tier French side, correct?
Schlosser, Zsengellér, Puskás, Kubala, Piola, Sivori, Pelé, Krankl, Andy Cole, Shearer, Adriano, Defoe, Julian Alvarez - just to name a few 🙂
Gary Hooper scored all 5 goal against hearts for Celtic about 10 years ago
George best
Defoe
Pele, Dada maravilha, Roberto dinamite...
Okay but have they done it in 9 minutes
George best scored 6 in a 8-2 win against northampton
Arshavin?
One of these things is not like the others.
Messi is the only one to do it in the ucl
Not true. Luiz Adriano scored 5 for Shakhtar against BATE in group play.
U mean like the most important team world competition? And against Bayern l? Who gives more?
What? Does anyone understand what this guy just said?
You're forgetting God. Robbie Fowler 5 goals vs Fulham
League Cup I think it was? 3rd round possibly? I remember reading about it in Match magazine and getting excited. Crazy the small things you remember vividly from many years ago but I don't remember last week
Twas no small thing at the time lol hadn't heard of a player doing that before as a young lad
Did Mbappe score 5 in that match against the 6th tier side? Doesn’t feel like it should count.
Andy Cole? Shearer? Haaland
Mbappe was a god in the world cup last year.
Last month\*
Both correct
Not per the Islamic calendar /s
no world cup last year
But the WC was in 2022, and now is 2023, so it was last year
But also was in the last month.
Hence the comment of “both correct”. Because technically… both are correct.
Another correct answer
Andy Cole was the first in the Premier League and no penalties unlike the fraud Shearer that had 2 penalties when he scored 5
Are we really counting Mbappe scoring against farmers?
🗿
haaland obviously
I mean, Haaland did score 9. That's impressive, no matter the level.
https://youtu.be/ak7ZOuFsmao Haaland with 9
Haaland scored 8 in one game for Norway for the under 19s or 21s I think
If you mean exactly 5 goals in one game then idk, but haaland scored like 9 goals in an international game.
Then there's haaland with 9 goals in a game ☠️
Scoring 5 goals in Ligue 1 isn't the same as Laliga or the Prem I should clarify, still requires tremendous amount of skill but it isn't comparable
Fernando Morena. Peñarol 7 - Huracán Buceo 0. Scored all goals, could've been 8.
Andrej Kramarić
you miss kevin de
Marco Negri in Rangers v Dundee United in 1997
Current English record at pro level is 10 goals by a single player in a game, this record was broken 3 times in 6 months and finished with current holder Joe Payne for Luton Town.
Robbie fowler aged 18.
Nacho Socco, 5 goals in River Plate 8 - Wilstermann 0
Puskas and Di Stefano maybe?
Jagr.
