France vs West Germany — 1982 World Cup Semifinal
Zico vs Platini. Sócrates misses. France through 4-3. The death of Sócrates' beautiful Brazil.
The first ever World Cup penalty shootout produced one of the tournament's greatest dramas. France led 3-1 in extra time before West Germany mounted an extraordinary comeback to force penalties. Harald Schumacher's brutal foul on Patrick Battiston — which knocked him unconscious and was unpunished — remains one of the most controversial moments in World Cup history. West Germany won 5-4 on penalties in a match that changed football's relationship with justice and fair play.
