Scorers with at least three goals in a match[edit]

50 players score at least three goals in at least one match, 16 of them in at least two matches. Only six players scored in this in their first match. Otto Dumke was the only of them get no further goals. Two other players also scored only these goals, including Julius Hirsch after all four in one match. For four players it was the first goals, but they had previously played a match without scoring. Two players scored only three goals in their last match, for Paul Pömpner it was the only goal.

Most often, three goals of a player in matches against Finland (even two players) and against Switzerland (seven times). In seven matches two players could score at least three goals. In friendly match the most common (50 times) was to score at least three goals by one player. Gerd Müller is the only player who scored three goals in two consecutive matches: On 7 and 10 June 1970, he scored in the World Cup matches against Bulgaria and Peru three goals each. The two matches on 18 and 26 April 1926, in which initially Josef Pöttinger and then Otto Harder scored three goals, followed immediately after each other. Richard Hofmann is the only player who has succeeded in three consecutive years (1928-1932) in each match a "hat-trick". For Miroslav Klose, the longest time (six years and three months) passed between two "hat-trick". In the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s, there was no match in which a player scored at least four goals. matches with at least three goals of a player, however, existed in every decade with the exception of the years before 1910. In twelve matches, the shooters of three goals were the only German scorer, also succeeded once Gerd Müller, at the inauguration of Munich Olympiastadions to score four goals without another German player scoring. In two matches, there were only the two "hat-trick" by two players, both matches ended 6–0. No match in which a player could score at least three goals was lost, but five ended in a draw (3 × 3:3, 1 × 4:4 and 5:5 respectively). The strongest opponent, against whom a player scored a "hat-trick", were the Switzerland 1925 (silver medalist of the Olympic Games 1924), Yugoslavia in 1962 and in the European Semifinals 1976 (World Cup Fourth of 1962 and European Championship Fourth in 1976), the Soviet Union in 1972 (defeated by Germany four weeks later in the European Championship finals), the Netherlands in 1980 (Vice World Champion of 1978) and the FIFA World Ranking fourth Portugal at the 2014 World Cup.

Even in the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup, the converted penalty was the only goal of the match.

Penalty shoot-out[edit]

The Germany national team has had eight matches go to penalty shootouts; the team won six of them and lost two. Germany (4) and Argentina (5) are the only teams to have won a shootout four or more times each in a World Cup; Germany is thus the only team ever to have had more than one penalty shootout at a World Cup with a 100% win rate. Argentina suffered their only defeat in a penalty shootout at a World Cup against Germany. The most successful German shooters are Andreas Brehme, Pierre Littbarski, Lothar Matthäus and Olaf Thon, with two penalties each, though Lothar Matthäus does not have a perfect record. Harald Schumacher is the most successful goalkeeper with four penalties. Sepp Maier (1976) and Eike Immel (1988) are the only goalkeepers who could not hold a penalty in a penalty shoot-out. There have been four times when all German penalty takers were successful; in three cases, only four German shooters had to compete because the decision had already been made before the fifth. Even with the two lost penalties the fifth shooter did not have to compete because the decision had already been made. In two cases (1982 and 1996) the additional sixth German shooter scored the victory, in 2016 only the ninth shooter (Jonas Hector).
