A goal scored is worth one point. Unlike some other sports (football, Basketball, etc), there is only one method of scoring in a soccer match. These points should not be confused with the points used in league or tournament standings, usually 3 points given for a won match, 1 point for a drawn match, or none for a lost match. Goals/points scored often have significance outside of the match in which they are scored, such as a tiebreaker between two teams with otherwise-identical standings.
Joe Ingles scored 24 points in 6 games, averaging 4.0 points per game. He was absent from one match and did not play. He scored the most points in a game against USA in Quarterfinals, 11 points.

What is the most tries Ireland have scored in an International match and against which Country?
Yes. Most goals scored in a world cup match is 12.
Depends which match
The answer varies depending on the level of competition. The highest professionally recognized point total belongs to the late Drazen Petrovic for scoring 112 points in a Yugoslavian league match. The NBA record however is exactly 100 points, scored by Wilt Chamberlain in a match between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks in 1962. Higher totals have been achieved in secondary school matches all over the United States and the World, however, they are too numerous to list.
