149-0 scoreline & football records that will never be broken, Kanu's record will make you cry

Highest winning margin in a match

History was made as AS Adema silenced arch-rivals Stade Olympique I'Emyrne 149-0 during a Madagascan playoff encounter. Well, it was not their football skills that earned them such dubious scoreline, it was Olympique intentionally scored one own goal after another in protest over a refereeing decision.

Most goals scored in a calendar year


This feat was achieved by Argentina superstar Lionel Messi in year 2012, where he scored 91 goals. That year, he played a total of 69 matches for club and country – meaning he scored 1.32 goals per game. This feat seems a near impossible task for anyone to break even in generations to come.

Most goals in a game

Archie Thompson holds the official record here, scoring 13 of Australia's 31 goals against an American Samoa side who had to rely on youth players who weren't taking exams in a World Cup 2002 qualifier - hey, at least there's reliable accounts of this game happening, no matter how unfair the match-up was.




Nwankwo Kanu’s goal drought

It is bizarre to find out that Kanu Nwankwo, a striker played in six African Cup of Nations without scoring a single goal. Since making his debut for the country, the two-time African Player of the year featured in the 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010 editions without finding the net. Without any iota of bias, this feat will remain ever green as no striker in this generation can play that much without scoring.

Longest goal scored ever

Asmir Begovic set the record for scoring the longest goal recorded in soccer history in 2014 after his shot from inside his own penalty area somehow made way into the opponent goal. His effort was measured at 91.9 meters and was only scored because of the blowing wind helping the ball end up in goal.




Most goals by a goalkeeper

In 1,257 competitive appearances for Sao Paulo, ​Rogerio Ceni found the back of the net 131 times because of his unusual proficiency from free-kicks. Definitely, it caused a scramble when he missed one and would have to sprint back to his own goal, but either way you were guaranteed some sort of spectacle.

Jose Mourinho’s unbeaten record

Jose Mourinho holds the record for consecutive home matches without a loss. Spanning from 2002 to 2011, Mourinho's teams went 150 matches without losing at home. That will never be broken.
