The Super Eagles of Nigeria have thrashed minnows, Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualification match on Monday.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen scored four goals, with three of those coming after the half-time interval.
Terem Moffi, who plays his club football for Lorient in France, recorded a brace, with Moses Simon, Oghenekaro Etebo, Ademola Lookman and Emmanuel Dennis all scoring once.
Nigeria’s previous record win was a 10-1 victory over Benin — then known as Dahomey — in Lagos on November 28, 1959.
The victory means Nigeria sit top of African Cup of Nations qualification group A after winning their opening two fixtures.
