10 June. The Estadio Azteca. Mexico City. 105,000 people were there to see what went down in football history as the Game of the Century. Italy and West Germany faced off for a place in the World Cup final.

After eight minutes, the Azzurri took the lead through Boninsegna. The Germans responded and applied pressure until the 90th minute the full-back Schellinger beat Albertosi. That sent the game to extra-time where it all went crazy. Muller put Germany ahead, Burgnich equalised. Riva then fired Italy ahead before Muller made it 3-3. Just a minute later, Rivera scored the goal that turned out to be the winner with a right-foot effort beyond Maier.
