Beşiktaş JK 10–0 Adana Demirspor

10–0 is the nickname for the game played between Beşiktaş JK and Adana Demirspor on October 15, 1989. Beşiktaş won the game 10-0, setting a new record margin of victory for a match in the Turkish First League.

Background

Beşiktaş had a bad start to the 1989–90 Turkish First League season, losing twice and drawing once in their first five games. Manager Gordon Milne decided to only field Turkish players in the next game, a decision which was widely criticised at the time. The game was played on a chilly but sunny day in Ali Sami Yen Stadium. The first goal came early, in the second minute, when Ali Gültiken scored a header. Beşiktaş scored ten goals in the match, with Gültiken scoring four of the goals, and Feyyaz Uçar and Metin Tekin each scoring a hat-trick. After the game, Beşiktaş' form improved and the team went on to become the league champions at the end of the season.

San Marino

San Marino (ⁱ/sæn məˈriːnoʊ/; Italian: [sam maˈriːno]), officially the Republic of San Marino (Italian: Repubblica di San Marino), also known as the Most Serene Republic of San Marino (Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino), is an enclaved microstate surrounded by Italy, situated on the Italian Peninsula on the northeastern side of the Apennine Mountains. Its size is just over 61 km² (24 sq mi) and has an estimated population of about 32,000. Its capital is the City of San Marino and its largest city is Dogana. San Marino has the smallest population of all the members of the Council of Europe.

San Marino claims to be the oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic in the world, as the continuation of the monastic community founded on 3 September 301, by stonecutter Marinus of Arba. Legend has it that Marinus left Rab, then the Roman colony of Arba, in 257 when the future emperor Diocletian issued a decree calling for the reconstruction of the city walls of Rimini, which had been destroyed by Liburnian pirates.

FIFA Confederations Cup

The FIFA Confederations Cup is an international association football tournament for national teams, currently held every four years by FIFA. It is contested by the holders of each of the six FIFA confederation championships (UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC, OFC), along with the FIFA World Cup holder and the host nation, to bring the number of teams up to eight.

Since 2005, the tournament has been held in the nation that will host the FIFA World Cup in the following year, acting as a rehearsal for the larger tournament. Brazil hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup from 15 to 30 June, which they won by defeating Spain 3–0 in the final for a record fourth title.

History and details

The tournament was originally organized by and held in Saudi Arabia and called the King Fahd Cup (Confederations Winners Cup or Intercontinental Championship), contested in 1992 and 1995 by the Saudi national side and some continental champions. In 1997, FIFA took over the organization of the tournament, named it the FIFA Confederations Cup and staged the competition every two years.
