Match overview
Portugal achieved one of the greatest comebacks in World Cup history, overturning a 3-0 deficit to defeat Korea DPR 5-3 at Goodison Park. Eusébio scored four times, including two penalties, and José Augusto added the final goal as Portugal advanced to the semi-finals.
Trivia
This match is remembered as a classic for both the scale of the comeback and Eusébio’s extraordinary performance. Korea DPR’s early three-goal lead stunned the crowd, but Portugal’s relentless attack, led by Eusébio, turned the match into one of the most iconic in tournament history.
