HISTORY:
West Germany won the world championship in Switzerland, surpassing the surprise of Uruguay's victory four years earlier, by halting Hungary's "Magical Magyars" 31-match unbeaten streak in a match that will always be known as the Miracle of Berne.
This was a mountain-sized upset in the shadow of the Alps, with the Germans overturning a two-goal lead to defeat opponents who had just defeated them 8-3 a fortnight earlier. When Fritz Walter received the namesake trophy from outgoing FIFA President Jules Rimet, the football world learned a vital new lesson: never, ever write off the Germans.
STATS:
TOP SCORERS: With eleven goals, Sandor Kocsis led the table, followed by Erich Probst and Max Morlock with six. Out of 26 matches,140 goals were scored with an avereage of 5.4 goals per match.
