Match overview
Italy recovered from an early deficit to defeat Haiti 3-1 at the Olympiastadion in Munich. Haiti shocked the football world by taking the lead through Emmanuel Sanon just after halftime, ending Dino Zoff’s remarkable run of 1,142 minutes without conceding a goal. Italy responded with Pietro Anastasi scoring twice and Giorgio Chinaglia adding another to secure a comfortable victory.
Trivia
Emmanuel Sanon’s goal was historic as it ended Dino Zoff’s World Cup record of 1,142 minutes without conceding, a record that had stood since the 1972 European Championship. Haiti’s goal was their first and only World Cup goal in their debut tournament. Pietro Anastasi’s brace marked his return to form on the international stage and helped Italy recover from their surprising early deficit.
