On June 26 1954 in a quarterfinal match of the 1954 Football World Cup Austria beat Switzerland 7–5 in Lausanne Switzerland. The 12 goals scored in the match set a World Cup record unequalled to date for the highest scoring match ever. The match is known by its German name Hitzeschlacht von Lausanne (roughly translated to The heat battle of Lausanne) due to the high temperature that it was played under 40°C (104°F).
