Match overview
West Germany reached their second consecutive World Cup final with a dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout victory over France in Seville. After Littbarski opened scoring and Platini equalised from the spot, the match remained level at 1-1 through ninety minutes. Extra time produced four spectacular goals as both teams traded blows, with Tresor, Giresse, Rummenigge and Fischer all finding the net. The subsequent penalty shootout marked the first time penalties decided a World Cup knockout match.
Trivia
Known as the ‘Night of Seville’, this match became legendary for Harald Schumacher’s brutal foul on Patrick Battiston that went unpunished. The match kicked off at 9pm due to sweltering temperatures that reached 37°C during the day. Both Stielike for Germany and Bossis for France missed crucial penalties in the decisive shootout.
