A tussle for the ball

The ball is centred into West Germany's box

 

 

 

 

West Germany make a break!

The ball control by the West Germany's Joe Vinhais is incredible! Step-over after step-over!

Now it's Argentina's chance to break away!

West Germany's 72-year old play-maker Abe Omonte is about to make another perfect pass

 

 

Argentina pump the ball into West Germany's box

Argentina corner... defended superbly by West Germany

The ball is played out of defence and West Germany's Karl Biewald gives chase

The pressure from Argentina is relentless, but West Germany hold strong

 

 

West Germany prepare their defence for yet another Argentina corner

They have played nearly 90 minutes in the heat and humidity, and it shows, the players are tired, but they must play on a little while longer

Intense pressure from Argentina, but the whole West Germany team has dropped back to defend the box

West Germany break away and catch Argentina all out of shape. Another goal will be scored and the game ends soon after
