After 12 minutes Helmut Haller had put West Germany ahead, but the score was levelled by Geoff Hurst four minutes later. Martin Peters put England in the lead in the 78^th minute; England looked set to claim the title when the referee awarded a free kick to West Germany.

With the score level at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes, the game went to extra-time.

It didn't matter however as Hurst netted his third in the 120th minute, just as the gathered crowd invaded the pitch to celebrate with the team. Geoff Hurst is the only player ever to have scored three times in a World Cup Final.
