World Cup Record: Most Goals Scored in a Single Match

The record for the most goals scored by a team in a single World Cup match is held by Hungary, who scored 10 goals against El Salvador in the 1982 World Cup. This match ended with a final score of 10-1 and it's considered as one of the most one-sided matches in the history of the tournament. This record still stands today, and it's unlikely to be broken anytime soon as the average number of goals scored per game has decreased over the years.
