1966
England 4
West Germany 2, OT
July 30 at Wembley, England
With teams tied 2-2 after goals from Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters for England and Helmut Haller and Wolfgang Weber (in the final minute) for the Germans, extra time was needed for the first time since 1934. Two further goals from Hurst, the only player to score a hat trick in a final, sealed the issue.
