The semi-final of the 1970 FIFA World Cup between Italy and West Germany is known as the "Game of the Century" ((スペイン語:Partido del Siglo); (イタリア語:Partita del Secolo); (ドイツ語:Jahrhundertspiel)). It was played on 17 June 1970 at the ''Estadio Azteca'' in Mexico City. Italy won 4–3 after five goals were scored in extra time, the only FIFA World Cup game in which this has happened. ==The match== Italy led for the majority of the match, after Roberto Boninsegna scored in the 8th minute. Germany's Franz Beckenbauer fractured his clavicle after being fouled, but stayed on the field carrying his dislocated arm in a sling, as his side had already used their two permitted substitutions. Defender Karl-Heinz Schnellinger equalized for West Germany during injury time at the end of the second half. German television commentator Ernst Huberty exclaimed ''"Schnellinger, of all people!"'', since Schnellinger played in Italy's professional football league, Serie A, at AC Milan (for whom he rarely scored) and previously for A.S. Roma and A.C. Mantova. It was also his first and only goal in 47 matches for the national team. The second half ended with the scores deadlocked at 1–1, and at this point the match became a battle of endurance during the two periods of overtime. Gerd Müller put Germany ahead in the 94th minute, but Tarcisio Burgnich tied it back up four minutes later and Luigi Riva put the Italians back in front. Gerd Müller scored again for West Germany to tie up the score at 3–3. Yet, as television cameras were still replaying Müller's goal, Italy's Gianni Rivera scored the game-winning goal in the 111th minute. Being left unmarked near the penalty area, Rivera connected a fine cross made by Boninsegna, clinching the victory for Italy at 4–3.〔(1970 FIFA World Cup Mexico. Match report.
