Match overview
West Germany completed a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to defeat hosts Yugoslavia 4-2 after extra time. The turning point came with Dieter Müller’s introduction as substitute, scoring a debut hat-trick to send the world champions to the final. Yugoslavia had dominated the first half but couldn’t hold their advantage against German resilience.
Trivia
Dieter Müller’s hat-trick on his international debut remains one of the most spectacular substitution performances in European Championship history. Yugoslavia led 2-0 at half-time but became only the second host nation to be eliminated at the semi-final stage. The match attracted the tournament’s highest attendance of 50,652 spectators.
