Basel was the host venue on 20 June 1954 as tournament favourites Hungary handed West Germany one of the most crippling defeats in their history, winning 8-3 in the third match in Group B. Ferenc Puskas was the star at the heart of the 'Mighty Magyars' side – who had won 6-3 at Wembley the previous year to become the first team to beat England on home soil – but it was Sandor Kocsis who took the plaudits against West Germany. Nicknamed 'Golden Head', he buried four goals that day, going on to rack up 11 for the tournament, including seven headed efforts. The Germans exacted revenge in the Final on 4 July, however, winning 3-2 in the legendary 'Miracle of Bern'.
