Helmut Rahn (West Germany), 1954

Wild celebrations followed this strike from Helmut Rahn, as West Germany completed their comeback from 2-0 down against the hugely fancied Hungary to lead 3-2 with six minutes remaining.

In a match that became known as "The Miracle of Bern," Rahn scored his second of the match as he cut inside and fired a left-footed effort into the bottom corner.

The goal and West Germany's World Cup win were seen as crucial moments in the country post-World War II, with a 2003 film called The Miracle of Bern later depicting events thoroughly.
