Eusébio vs North Korea — 1966

Eusébio's four-goal comeback against North Korea in the 1966 World Cup quarter-final is the greatest individual performance in a knockout game. Trailing 3-0 after 24 minutes, Portugal's star scored four and assisted a fifth in a 5-3 victory at Goodison Park. His physical power and two-footed finishing were unmatched that year, as he netted 9 goals total, more than any other player. This feat is even more remarkable because North Korea had shocked Italy in the group stage. Eusébio's display is 50% more productive than #5 Al-Owairan's solo effort, defining clutch attacking play.
