On 29 April 1978, the final match day of the 1977–78 Fußball-Bundesliga season, Borussia Mönchengladbach played Borussia Dortmund with the possibility of becoming Bundesliga champions. Knowing that if 1. FC Köln won their game away to FC St. Pauli, Borussia Mönchengladbach would have to win by a margin well in excess of ten goals. The match finished 12–0, which, as of 2013, is still the largest margin of victory and biggest win in any Bundesliga game.[1][2][3] However, 1. FC Köln beat FC St. Pauli 5–0 to become champions.
