Records & Context: The match became the highest-scoring World Cup third-place game ever, with 10 goals total—the most in a third-place playoff since the tournament’s early decades—and the first time in 64 years both teams scored four or more in the same World Cup match. El Salvador Link: The record-setting 10-goal total was compared to Hungary’s 10-1 win over El Salvador in 1982, the last time a World Cup match reached that kind of scoring spree.
