Match overview
Hungary recorded the largest winning margin in World Cup history with a 10-1 victory over El Salvador at Nuevo in Elche. The Hungarians dominated from the outset, scoring twice in the opening six minutes and continuing to add goals throughout the match. Substitute László Kiss scored a hat-trick in just seven minutes, the fastest in World Cup finals history. El Salvador managed a consolation goal but were overwhelmed by Hungary’s relentless attack.
Trivia
This match set the record for the highest number of goals scored by a single team in a World Cup finals match. László Kiss became the first substitute to score a hat-trick in the tournament’s history, achieving the feat in only seven minutes. The result remains one of the most memorable and lopsided in World Cup annals.
