Indonesian U-23 National Team Bantai Chinese Taipei 9-0
Football is a game where the winner is able to score as many goals as possible against the opponent's goal and defend the goal from being conceded.
Talking about scoring as many goals as possible, recently the U-23 Indonesian National Team did it. The Garuda Muda squad slaughtered Taiwan 9-0 in the first Group K match of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup Qualification.
U-23 was able to lead by five goals in the first half. They scored goals through Marselino Ferdinand, Ramadhan Sananta, Rafael Struick and Witan Sulaeman.
Four additional goals were scored in the second half. Elkan Baggot, Marselino Ferdinan and Hokky Caraka managed to tear the Chinese Taipei goal.
Thanks to this victory, the U-23 Indonesian National Team leads the Group K standings with three points. They only need a draw to qualify for the U-23 Asian Cup finals.
The victory achieved by the U-23 Indonesian National Team was indeed quite big. However, if you thought that was the most goals scored in a football match, prepare to be surprised because nine goals without reply is nothing compared to the match results below.
31-0: Australia vs American Samoa
While many would expect the highest-scoring international win to be held by teams such as Germany or Brazil, who have dominated international football for years, the record is actually held by Australia, who are considered a minnow when judged against the world's best. .
However, one thing is clear - no matter how they fare against a team like Germany, they are a far superior team to American Samoa, as they proved in their 31-0 win over the tiny nation in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers in Oceania.
At the time, Samoa had yet to record a win as a FIFA-recognized team and were ranked the worst team in the world, while Australia entered the match having broken the record for the biggest international win with a 22–0 victory over Tonga just two days earlier.
Having broken their own record, this huge win meant that Australia had scored 53 goals in just three days and 180 minutes of football, cementing their place in the sport's history books.
Unsurprisingly, they topped the qualifying group with four wins and a goal difference of +66.
