In the 1954 tournament, he scored four goals in the three matches that he played and was awarded the title of the player of the tournament. He scored twice in Hungary's 9-0 drubbing of South Korea and then once in their 8-3 win over West Germany in the Group stage.

However, Puskas' Hungary then went on to lose the finals 2-3 against West Germany. Thus, one of the most dangerous strikers of all time with all his speed and skills could not win the World Cup.
