Just Fontaine (France), 13 goals, 1958 world cup in Sweden.\n\nJust Fontaine (born August 18, 1933 in Marrakech, Morocco) was a French football player. He holds the all-time record for goals scored in a single World Cup finals, with 13 in 1958.\n\nFontaine began his professional career at US Casablanca, where he played from 1950 to 1953. Nice recruited him in 1953, and he went on to score 44 goals in 3 seasons for the club. In 1956, he moved on to Stade de Reims to replace Raymond Kopa, where he scored 121 goals in 6 seasons. In total, Fontaine scored 165 goals in 200 matches in the Ligue 1, and twice won the championship; in 1958 and 1960.\n\nWearing the blue shirt of France, Fontaine's statistics are even more impressive. On his debut with the team on December 17, 1953, Fontaine scored a hat trick as France drubbed Luxembourg 8-0. In seven years, he scored 30 goals in 21 matches for the national team. However, Fontaine will best be remembered for his 1958 World Cup performance, where he scored 13 goals in just 6 matches, including putting 4 past the West Germans. This tally secured him the Golden Boot for that tournament, and his total of 13 remains the greatest number of goals scored in a single World Cup tournament.\n\nFontaine played his last match in July 1962, being forced to retire early because of a recurring injury. He briefly took the reins for the French national team in 1967, but was replaced after only two games, both friendlies that ended in defeats.\n\nHe was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004.

It's difficult to find statistics because it's an unwanted record, but it doesn't occur too often,  but it could happen again in any match, mainly for the preasure of the tournament over the players and any one could make a mistake.\nIn this world cup, it happen in the match: England vs Paraguay, final socre: 1:0 (The goal was by Carlos Gamarra of Paraguay) so that was worst than the result of the match USA vs Italy, final score 1:1 (The goal of USA, was by Cristian Zaccardo of Italy)\n\nFor your record, these are the statistics related to FIFA world cup: \n# Carlos Gamarra’s misplaced header against England, timed at three minutes, was the quickest own goal in FIFA World Cup history. The previous fastest was scored by Yugoslavia’s Ivan Horvat, who netted an own goal in the 9th minute against Germany FR in 1954.\n# England have twice benefited from own goals in the competition, the first was scored for them by Josef Barmos of Czechoslovakia in 1982. But Italy have benefited most of all – four FIFA World Cup own goals have worked to their advantage.\n\n# The first ever FIFA World Cup own goal was scored by Switzerland’s Ernst Loertscher v Germany in 1938 while only one game in FIFA World Cup history has featured two own goals – the clash between Portugal and USA on 5 June 2002 with Jorge Costa and Jeff Agoos the luckless pair.

Pele has won world footballer of the year the most times Pelé scored six goals at the 1958 world cup in Sweden in his first world cup at the age of seventeen.he scored 1281 goals, Pelé started his football career in Santos in 1956, at the age of 15, and played in his first international match only ten months later. In 1958, Pelé became the youngest ever World Cup winner in Sweden at 17. He played in two more Brazilian World Cup-winning teams, in 1962 and 1970. He missed most of the 1962 and 1966 World Cups due to injuries sustained in the early stages of the tournament.\n\nPelé retired in 1974, but came out of retirement the following year to play in the North American Soccer League and joined the New York Cosmos, where he played his last game on Oct. 1, 1977, in front of a capacity crowd at Giants Stadium.Pele's official record with Brazil stands at 77 goals from 92 appearances. There is some confusion as to the actual total, with Brazil awarding international status to matches not otherwise recognised as such, and some matches have had their status revised recently. However, the figures above are those currently recognised by FIFA.
