Match overview
West Germany cruised into the semi-finals with a 4-0 victory over Uruguay at Hillsborough. Sigi Held opened the scoring early, and second-half goals from Beckenbauer, Seeler, and Haller sealed the result. Uruguay finished with nine men after two red cards in a heated encounter.
Trivia
This match is remembered for Uruguay’s two dismissals, which left them at a severe disadvantage during the second half. West Germany’s attacking display was clinical, and the win set up a semi-final clash with the Soviet Union.
