Soccer: West Germany’s Comeback
West Germany defeated Hungary in the 1954 World Cup final in Bern, Switzerland, after coming back from a two-goal deficit. The Hungarian squad came into the competition as one of the best in the world. It had gone four years without losing a match and had won its second Olympic gold medal during that time. Hungary scored two goals in the opening eight minutes of the World Cup encounter. Before the end of the first half, West Germany had roared back to draw the game. Helmut Rahn scored the game-winning goal six minutes into the second half, giving Germany its first of four World Cup victories.
