Italy were 1-0 up against West Germany from the eighth minute of the 1970 World Cup semi-final but German defender Karl-Heinz Schnellinger equalised in the 90th minute to take the game to extra time. Gerd Muller scored twice in the additional period but it was in vain as Italy went on to win 4-3 and reach the final where they fell to defeat at the hands of Brazil.
