Eusébio — 9 goals, Portugal 1966

9 goals in 1966. Four goals vs North Korea from 3-0 down. Portugal's greatest World Cup ever.

Eusébio's 9 goals at the 1966 World Cup remain the highest single-tournament total by any European player, powering Portugal to a third-place finish. His four-goal comeback from 3-0 down against North Korea in the quarterfinal ranks among the tournament's greatest individual performances. Eusébio's ferocious shot and pace defined an era, but his 9 goals place him 7 behind career leader Miroslav Klose.
