This thread is about teams who got relegated at the end of the season but during that season, this team had scored six or more goals in a match.

I'll start with some Serie A matches. In the 1992-93 season, Fiorentina defeated Ancona 7-1 but at the end of the season, La Viola finished third last.

In the 1995-96 Serie A season, Cremonese thrashed Bari 7-1 and Cremonese still finished second last.

What are some other examples that you know of?

I knew of National teams who did that after getting eliminated in the first round. Spain beat Bulgaria 6-0 or 6-1 in WC 1998. England destroyed Greece 5-0 in a friendly match right before WC 1994.

Osasuna in 1935-1936 did this, not once, but three times!

Osasuna 6-0 Betis
Osasuna 6-1 Espanol
Osasuna 6-3 Sevilla

They also won 5 of their last 6 games of 22 overall, but still finished last.

Oh my goodness.....

Here are some more:

-Padova in the 1929-30 Serie A season won 7-0 against Pro Patria but they finished second last.

-Napoli thrashed Reggina 6-2 in the 2000-01 season but they finished second last.

I believe Boro did this in that fateful season in 1996/97

Middlesbrough 6-1 Derby County

Ravenelli scored a hattrick iirc.

We also beat Chester City in the cup 6-0 in that season - if that counts.

It doesn't count but it is nice to know nevertheless.

I've found a result in the Bundesliga. MSV Duisburg in the 1991-92 season defeated Karlsruhe 6-2 but MSV still finished second last. A player called Tonnies scored five goals for MSV.

it was 6- 1, but Spain had a chance to go through, but Paraguay beat Nigeria in the other game (played at the same time), so they were not already out, but them going out was confirmed just as they won 6-1 - tough huh?!

This is a little different, sort of the other way round.. I think we, Norwich City, are the team that finished highest with a negative goal difference, in the first ever Premiership:- 1992/1993 Premiership Final table We finished third with -4 GD.... I think this is a record for any top flight leagues. - more in keeping with this thread... any relegated teams had a positive GD? Shouldn't think so.

In regards to Fiorentina in the 1992-93 Serie A season, there was another result that I forgot to mention. In the final round, Fiorentina beat Foggia 6-2.

Man City in 1938 had a positive goal difference in getting relegated. They were defending champions at the time, and scored more goals than Arsenal who took the title off them.
