The Match That Shocked The World
Germany scored in the 10th minute and got off to a great start. The first half was competitive, but the teams slowed down in the second half. Just before half-time, a West German commentator said, “I am now getting the feeling that both teams have become more fearful. The Austrians don’t want to concede another goal so as not to risk going out of the tournament. They know they’d be out with a 3-0. And our boys, well, they don’t want to concede an equaliser.”
