Kick-off: 9.00pm local
West Germany won 5-4 on penalties.
After extra time - 1-1 after 90 minutes
Thanks to its back-and-forth drama, four goals in extra time, and a dramatic penalty shootout, this game is regarded not only as the best of the 1982 tournament, but one of the best World Cup games of all time.
It was considered by French captain Michel Platini to be his "most beautiful game."
West Germany's victory was the first time in World Cup finals history that a shootout determined the outcome.
