"The biggest victory in an international football match had a score of 31-0.

The biggest victory in an international football match happened in 2001 when Australia defeated American Samoa 31-0 during a FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Archie Thompson scored 13 goals in that match, setting a record for the most goals by a player in an international match".
