Match overview
West Germany controlled the semi-final from the outset, taking an early lead through Brehme’s deflected free kick. France pressed for an equaliser, but the German defence was resolute. Allofs sealed the win with a late goal on the counter. The match was played in intense heat, and West Germany’s tactical discipline and physical strength proved decisive.
Trivia
This was a rematch of the dramatic 1982 semi-final. West Germany advanced to their third consecutive World Cup final, while France, despite their talented generation, fell short of the ultimate prize.
