Match overview
The Soviet Union captured the inaugural European Championship with a dramatic extra-time victory over Yugoslavia. Milan Galic gave Yugoslavia the lead before half-time, but Slava Metreveli equalised early in the second half. With seven minutes remaining in extra time, Viktor Ponedielnik headed home the winner to secure the USSR’s first major international trophy.
Trivia
Viktor Ponedielnik’s 113th-minute header made him the scorer of the first-ever European Championship-winning goal. The match was played in persistent rain, and legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin’s crucial saves helped the Soviet Union become the first European champions in football history.
