Largest Margin of Victory Ever?

Does anyone know what it is, in a professional match of course
I know Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 once (Football or Rugby score :o) Is this the largest?

Can't remember the exact details, as I read it ages ago somewhere. Hopefully someone knows more about it...

In one match, a team was so angered by a decision that they spend the rest of the match scoring own goals in protest. I believe they hit triple figures. :eek:

There have been some big wins in the asian federation .
I think Iran clocked up some huge wins versus the likes of the maldive islands.

That was a club match in Mozambique, I think. At least I hope it is, because otherwise I have no idea what I'm thinking of.


EDIT - It was in Madagascar (http://footballtrivia.wordpress.com/2005/10/14/most-own-goals/). 149 OGs for one goal every 35 seconds.

Didn't Australia give sum Pacific Island team a proper hammering???? maybe 4-5 years ago

I do know Ajax hold the record for largest margin in the Uefa Cup(wouldn't be surprised if it also is the largest margin in any EuropeCup) for beating Red Boys Differdange with 14-0 at home in '84.

Another big margin: Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord in the Scottish Cup 1st round on Sept 12, 1885.

Bon Accord was really the Orion Cricket Club which got the invitation to play by mistake (should have gone to Orion football club) but decided to play anyway. The ref also disallowed 6 more Arbroath goals. John Petrie, who scored 13 goals in the match, also holds the record for the most individual goals scored in a senior game. It is said that Jim Milne, the Arbroath keeper, didn't touch the ball once during the match.

Dundee Harp ran them close on the same day, by beating Aberdeen Rovers 35-0.

Note: that there are disagreements about how many goals were really disallowed.

The largest margin of victory in Mexico's 1st division was 14 goals. It was a game disputed between Veracruz 14 - 0 Monterrey. Interesting (and sad) to note that on sept 15, 45, Monterrey was heading to Guadalajara and their bus caught on fire. It killed 2 players and about half of the team was burnt pretty bad. They did not have enough players. Other teams had to loan them players to finish the season. The 14-0 game occured later in the season in 1946. That season, Monterrey allowed 133 goals (in 30 games).

The biggest margin of vistory in Mexico's professional leagues was a game between Tampico-Madero and Truenos de Acuna in 1995. Tampico-Madero had a team in the 3rd division. They slaughtered Acuna 29-0. Ramon Arroyo scored 17 goals in that game
