The Hungarians, with the likes of Ferenc Puskas and Sandor Kocsis in their line-up, had been huge favourites to win the tournament but, despite going 2-0 up within eight minutes, they were unable to stop the Germans making an incredible comeback.
The result was even more galling for Hungary, having won their group stage game against West Germany 8-3. That scoreline went a long way to the German total of fourteen goals conceded throughout the tournament - the highest number of goals shipped by a World Cup winning team.
