Oleg Salenko made World Cup history by scoring five goals in a single match as Russia overwhelmed Cameroon 6-1. Roger Milla, at 42, became the oldest World Cup scorer.
Trivia
Salenko’s five-goal haul is a World Cup record that still stands. Milla’s strike at age 42 was another tournament milestone.
