Best One-Match goal-scorer: Oleg Salenko

*Oleg Salenko (Russia) is the only player in World Cup history to score a penta-trick. His feat in the group game vs Cameroon (6-1) didn’t help his team to qualify for playoff stage.

*Six players made a poker; since 1986, there wasn’t a player to score 4 goals in a single game. The last to do it was  Emilio Butragueño (Spain) in the game vs Denmark (5-1).

*One of players “pokerists”, Ernst Wilimowski (Poland), was prolific in a game lost by his team (vs Brazil 5-6 in 1938).
