World Cup 1982: West Germany's high-scoring match against France

By a Staff Reporter

At that time Germany was called West Germany in the World Cup. The Germans were still one of the best teams in the world. This match was high-scoring. After extra time, each sides had three goals. The match went into penalty shootout and West Germany won 5–4 on penalties. The match may also have been memorable for the West German goalkeeper's ruthless tackle on French star Patrick Battiston.
