Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

In the line-ups
7 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2000–2002The archive holds 7 team sheets naming Patrick M'Boma in Cameroon's starting line-up, from 2000-01-22 to 2002-06-11.
7 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
