1982 World Cup |
 |
|
The two side played the first ever penalty shootout in World Cup history and West Germany beat France 8-7 in a penalty shootout. French player Patrick Battiston was knocked unconscious with two missing teeth, three cracked ribs, and damaged vertebrae, after a controversial collision with German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher, and was carried off the field on a stretcher. No foul but a goal kick was given to the Germans. Thanks to its intense, back-and-forth drama, four quality goals in extra time, and an equally dramatic penalty shootout, this game is regarded not only as the best of the 1982 tournament, but one of the best World Cup games of all time.
