The football game revolves around goals and viewers have been treated to some outstanding performances by top footballers in the last season. During the 64 matches at the World Cup, which was hosted by Qatar, the most goals in the history of the World Cups were scored, 172 in total. The previous record was held by the championships in 1998 in France and 2014 in Brazil, when 171 goals were scored in each, and the championship in Russia is next where 169 goals were scored. Courageous defense, dominant play, rushing around the field, and guarding the net are common marks of every interesting game, but nothing can be better than many goals in a match! Football matches with the most goals are forever remembered for the shocking result. Teams that score more goals are more watched and more popular among the fans. Tips for over/under 2.5 goals are the most picked predictions in the world of sports betting. In the best European football leagues, we also saw some amazing and unforgettable matches with a lot of goals.
Atalanta 8 vs 2 Salernitana
The Atalanta players more than convincingly defeated the Salernitana team with a score of 8:2 in the 18th round of Serie A. What can we say about this match other than just counting the goals, considering that Atalanta managed to take a shot at the goal 18 times, and on 12 occasions it was in the frame of the goal. The result is eight goals and a great victory over Salernitana, which was a wordy opponent only until the 20th minute. With 10 goals this match is the match with most goals last season in the best European leagues.
Liverpool 9 vs 0 Bournemouth
Liverpool football players beat Bournemouth at their “Enfield” with even 9:0 (5:0) in the 4th round of the Premier League. Liverpool tied the record for the biggest win in the Premier League. This is the fourth time in league history that a team has won by nine goals. In 1995, Manchester United beat Ipswich 9-0, and last year Southampton by the same score. Leicester also beat Southampton 9-0 in 2019. The Reds’ triumph is all the more impressive given that Liverpool have had their worst start to the league in a decade, drawing two and losing once in their first three matches. Liverpool players had 19 shots at Bournemouth’s goal, 12 of which were on target, nine of which ended up in the net. The last time Liverpool recorded such a victory was in September 1989, against Crystal Palace in the then First English League.
Manchester City 6 vs 3 Manchester United
Another match with 9 goals in the Premier League. Manchester City demolished the city rival United in the big derby of the Premier League, although the “Red Devils” managed to mitigate the embarrassment. As many as 9 goals were scored in the match, and unfortunately for the guests, 6 of them were in their net. The dilemmas for the winner of the match were resolved already in the first half, after which the “Citizens” had a 4-0 advantage, and despite the fact that the “Red Devils” played better in the second 45 minutes, they could not even hope for a draw. The Norwegian Haaland, with three goals, became the first player in the history of the Premier League to score a hat-trick in three matches at home. Phil Foden also scored a hat-trick.
Olympique Lyon 5 vs 4 Montpellier
Perhaps the most spectacular match last season with 9 goals was seen in French Ligue 1 between Lyon and Montpellier. Olympique beat Montpellier 5:4 (1:2) in the 34th round of the French League 1, despite losing 1:4 at one point. Nine goals were scored in the match, and as many as eight (four each) were the work of Alexandre Lacazette and Elye Wahi. Despite being behind by 1:4, Laurent Blanc’s men did not lose hope, which is why they ended up with all three points, and the hero was definitely Lacazette. This is the first case in League 1 since 1974 that both teams scored 4 goals in one match, previously something like that happened in the Reims – Monaco match 8:4.
Bayern Munich 6 vs 2 Mainz
Bayern players are the fear and terror of all teams in the Bundesliga, especially when they play in front of home fans. Last season Mainz felt it on its own skin, with “only” six goals conceded – 6:2 (3:1). Both halves ended with identical results, during which the goals for Bayern were scored by Gnabri in the 5th minute, Musiala in the 28th minute, Mane in the 43rd minute, Goretzka in the 58th minute, Tel in the 79th minute and Choupo Moting in the 86th minute. On the other side, we saw Widmer’s goals in 45+4. minute and Ingvartsen in the 82nd minute, of course not enough for anything.
Of course, there were many more matches with 5 or more goals during last season, we picked the ones that were most interesting and, in some way, ended with unexpected results.
