dated July 06, 1954: Germany wins World Cup

Germany, the "dark horses" of the tournament, won the World Cup in Berne on July 4 in one of the biggest upsets in the history of international football when they beat Hungary, the favourites, by three goals to two in the final. It was Hungary's first defeat in international football for four years. Germany, who have only in the last few seasons been re-establishing themselves in international sport, were two goals down within eight minutes, but fought back to equallise, before half-time. Rahn, who had scored one of the earlier goals, got the winner six minutes before time.
