Navata 0-27 Villarreal: If You Watch All 27 Goals You’re a Sadist
By: Daryl | July 21st, 2009I once played for a youth team that lost 24-0. True story, and not a fun way to spend a Sunday morning. I also sort of assumed that a twenty-four goal deficit was the worst beating it was possible to receive in a 90 minute football match. But that was before I heard about the pre-season game in Spain this past weekend, which finished Navata 0-27 Villarreal.
Ouch.
Villarreal, as we all know, are a top flight La Liga team. But in which division do CF Navata play? Took a fair bit of Googling and a whole lot of Google Translating, but I eventually placed Navata in the Tercera Territorial de Catalunya, and learned a bit about the Spanish league pyramid along the way.
The Tercera Territorial de Catalunya is the lowest level of the Catalan regional league system, which puts it a full eight levels below Villarreal and La Liga Primera División. It’s so low, its Wikipedia page is currently non-existenet in English, Spanish and Catalan.
So really these two teams had no business playing each other, and I can’t imagine either got much out of the experience. Villarreal may as well have played against a team of 12 year olds.
If you’re an absolute sadist with 6 minutes 39 seconds to spare, you can watch all 27 goals go in below:
Fortunately, my own 24-0 defeat happened long before the birth of YouTube, so the only place it gets replayed is in my nightmares.

I seem to recall Australia beating some Polynesian minnow 31-0 in a qualifier for the ‘06 WC, which is probably why they moved to the AFC.

Yeah, it was against American Samoa. Not a pretty sight.

Damn, 24-0 is rough. I was on the receiving end of a few battering myself back in the day, but I don’t think it ever got worse than 12-0 or so.

I was goalkeeper when we lost 10-0 for my Sunday side. I was that good it should have been at least 20. True I kid you not.

Wow. How do you stay on the field during a spanking like that? If I were a Navata defender I would need to get therapy for weeks.

I have been a part of a team which faced a 10-0 drubbing from our opponents. Luckily we weren’t/aren’t a practicing everyday side and we just joked about it later or we would have nightmares everyday

The worse my team ever lost was 10-0. This makes me feel a little better.

According to the Guiness Book, the worst defeat in football history was Abroath 36 – 0 Bon Accord. Both were scottish teams, but that was in 1885.
There’s even a Wikipedia article on it.

Like every Wiki article, I’m not sure if it’s accurate, but there is a particular segment that stands out:
“The record for highest victory in a senior football competition was set on October 31, 2002 when the Malagasy club AS Adema beat SOE Antananarivo 149-0 in the national championship. SOE scored own goals throughout the match as a protest to a referee decision in a prior match.”

Sorry, here’s an article on the Guardian about the game in Madagascar. Apparently it is the world record now:
