La Roja hammered Costa Rica on Wednesday night but where does that result rank in terms of the largest margins of victory in tournament history?
We've seen some incredible results throughout the illustrious history of the World Cup.
Germany's 7-1 demolition of Brazil at the 2014 edition of the tournament still sits fresh in the mind.
Remarkably, that dismal night for Selecao supporters doesn't even feature in the top 10 of the most one-sided games in World Cup history.
Below, GOAL runs through the biggest wins the tournament has ever seen, starting with Spain's demolition job on Costa Rica at the Al Thumama Stadium on Wednesday night…

Spain started their 2022 World Cup campaign with a thumping 7-0 victory over Costa Rica.
Dani Olmo grabbed the first goal in the 11th minute and that essentially opened the floodgates. Marco Asensio, Gavi, Carlos Soler, and Alvaro Morata got one each thereafter, while Ferran Torres netted twice on the night.
Gavi's strike in particular was masterful and ensured he became the youngest scorer for Spain in World Cup history in the process.

The 2010 World Cup clash between Portugal and North Korea was marked by Cristiano Ronaldo ending a 16-month drought at international level, but it would be his only goal of the competition.
Raul Meireles, Simao, Hugo Almeida, Liedson and Tiago (two) completed the scoring in what was the only fixture in the tournament in which the Portuguese found the back of the net.
Getty=7. Poland 7-0 Haiti – 1974
Poland racked up three wins from three games in the group stage of the 1974 World Cup on their way to a third-place finish, with their 7-0 thrashing of Haiti particularly impressive.
Andrzej Szarmach hit a hat-trick, Grzegorz Lato bagged a brace, while Jerzy Gorgon, and Kazimierz Deyna score one goal apiece.
Getty=7. Turkey 7-0 Korea Republic – 1954
The 1954 World Cup provided a plethora of one-sided encounters, with Turkey's 7-0 drubbing of South Korea just one of a handful of games to end with one side scoring six or more goals than their opponents.
In fact, in Group Two alone, 32 goals were scored across just four games between Turkey, Korea, West Germany and the great Hungary side of the time.
