#4 Valeriy Porkujan, Soviet Union – 1966 World Cup

Porkujan scored all his four international goals at the 1966 World Cup in his first three matches for the Soviet Union

The Soviet Union had their best World Cup outing at the 1966 World Cup in England where they finished fourth. Despite having a decent team, it was youngster Valeriy Porkujan who was their top scorer with four goals. Porkujan made his debut during the tournament and interestingly, the four goals he scored in the tournament were the only goals he ever scored throughout his four-year long international career.

After being on the bench for Soviet Union’s group games against North Korea and Italy, the striker started in Soviet Union’s final group game against Chile which was incidentally his debut for the international side.

The former Dynamo Kiev then scored a brace on his debut as the Soviets won the match 2-1 ended their group stage by winning all three games. Porkujan scored his third goal of the competition in Soviet Union’s 2-1 win against Hungary which took them to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the very first time in their history.

Porkujan scored Soviet Union’s sole goal in their 1-2 defeat to West Germany in the semi-finals. He did not play in the third place play-off against Portugal and played another five matches for the Soviets till 1970 but did not score another goal for them.
