Goals by Asian nations at the World Cup
editThis list includes
- Goals from Turkey's appearance at the 1954 FIFA World Cup because Turkey was not yet a member of UEFA at the time. Goals by Turkey after it joined UEFA in 1962 are not included.
- Goal from Israel's appearance at the 1970 FIFA World Cup because Israel was a member of the AFC at the time.
- Goals from Australia's appearances after it switched from the OFC to the AFC in 2006 i.e. from the 2010 World Cup onwards.
Goals from penalty shootouts e.g. Korea vs Spain at the 2002 World Cup, are not included.
The following columns are used in the tables:
- Shirt: Shirt number of goal scorer. Since FIFA only started requiring (and recording) numbers on shirts at the 1954 World Cup, Abdulrahman Fawzi, the only African to score at the World Cup before 1954, has no shirt number.
- Scorer: Name of goal scorer. This is in italics if it is an own goal. Goals both for and against African teams are listed. (As of 2006, no African team had ever been 'gifted' an own goal by another team.)
- G# : Goal Number e.g. if this is 3, then this is the 3rd goal scored by this player in all World Cups. Does not include own goals.
- Min: the minute the goal was scored.
- Type : used to indicate penalties and own goals.
- Assist: Name of the player supplying the assist. This is in italics if the last player to touch the ball (not counting deflections) before the goal scorer was from the defending team e.g. René Higuita to Roger Milla at Italia 90. (Please fill in empty spots, with references.)
- Ent: The minute the goal scorer entered the game. This is 0 for those who started the game and N for a substitute who entered the game in the Nth minute.
- Team: for whom the goal counted.
- B4: The score in the match just before the goal was scored.
- R: Result - whether the game was Won, Lost, or Drawn
- Score at the end of the game.
- Opponent: the team against whom the goal counted.
- Date : the date of the match
- Age : of the scorer when scoring the goal, in years:months:days.
- City : the city hosting the match. (In the case of World Cups held in the United States, these are the cities where the stadiums are physically located, not necessarily the official host cities.)
