Match overview
The USSR demolished Hungary with a ruthless attacking display, scoring three goals in each half. Belanov orchestrated the Soviet attack, while Hungary’s defence collapsed under relentless pressure. The result remains one of the most lopsided in World Cup history.
Trivia
This was Hungary’s heaviest ever World Cup defeat. The USSR’s six-goal margin was one of the largest in tournament history.
