European Championship quarter-final 1972
Wembley, London
England

First leg: England 1-3 West Germany
Second leg: West Germany 0-0 England

West Germany were the form team going into the tournament and there was to be no upsetting the formbook when Bobby Moore's team met Franz Beckenbauer's side in London.

Francis Lee (far left) cancelled out Uli Hoeness' opener but England were heading for the worst defeat at Wembley under Sir Alf Ramsey.

West Germany retook the lead when Moore conceded a penalty after bringing down Siegfried Held and keeper Gordon Banks was unable to do more than push Gunter Netzer's penalty into the post and in.

England's misery - and West Germany's ecstasy - was complete when Gerd Muller made the second leg essentially redundant with his side's third goal.
