Eusébio vs North Korea — 1966

Eusébio's four-goal comeback for Portugal against North Korea at the 1966 World Cup in Goodison Park, Liverpool, remains the greatest individual performance in a World Cup knockout game. Portugal were 3–0 down after 24 minutes. Eusébio scored four and made a fifth in a 5–3 comeback win. His performance is all the more remarkable because North Korea's lead had been built on one of the tournament's biggest upsets — they had knocked out Italy in the group stage. Eusébio's physical power, two-footedness and finishing were unmatched in 1966.
