Bern, 4 July 1954. Hungary, 32 matches unbeaten, against West Germany in the World Cup final.
EIGHT MINUTES
Ferenc Puskás scored after six minutes. Two minutes later Zoltán Czibor robbed Werner Kohlmeyer and made it 2–0. Everyone in the stadium thought the result was settled.
THEY LOST
Max Morlock pulled one back in the 10th minute and Helmut Rahn equalised in the 18th. Rahn scored again in the 84th, Puskás had a late goal disallowed for offside, and West Germany won 3–2: the Miracle of Bern.
