The Valencia CF legend, Mundo Suárez, still holds the record in LaLiga history as the player who scored four goals the earliest in the highest level of the Spanish Football League. The Barakaldo native achieved this feat in 1941 against Real Sociedad.

On October 5th, 1941, the Camp de Mestalla witnessed a historic day in Spanish football, as Mundo Suárez scored four goals within just the first 20 minutes of the second LaLiga matchday against Real Sociedad. Valencia CF went on to win the match by six goals to nil.

In the top 3 of the ranking are Sørloth (Atlético de Madrid vs. Real Sociedad in 2025) and Raimundo (Sevilla FC vs. Real Oviedo in 1941).
