Yes, I'd be happy to help with that.

In 1954, the Hungarian national team played against South Korea's national team in the group stage of the FIFA World Cup in Switzerland. The match ended in a 9-0 win for Hungary, which is the highest-scoring match in World Cup history.

The Hungarian team, also known as the "Mighty Magyars," played an aggressive style of football with a focus on quick, attacking play. They scored their first goal on their third minute of the game. After that, the team scored eight more goals, including four in the first half alone. The Hungarian coach, Béla Sárkány, believed that football should be played like water polo.

The South Korean team, who were making their World Cup debut at that time, failed to control the pace of the game, and their defense remained weak despite making a few goalkeeping attempts. The match remains the heaviest loss in the international history of the South Korean football team, and it was also the first of many traumatic losses for the team.

I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you'd like more information.

The highest-scoring match in World Cup history was played between Austria and Switzerland on June 26, 1954, during the quarter-finals of the 1954 FIFA World Cup. The score was 7-5 in favor of Austria. This match is often referred to as the "Hitzschlacht von Lausanne" (The Heat Battle of Lausanne) since it was played in very high temperatures. Austria went on to finish third in the tournament, while Switzerland was eliminated after this quarter-final defeat.
