World Cup 1982
Patrick Battiston of France and Toni Schumacher of West Germany
England beat France in their opening group game in the 1982 World Cup but it was the French who reached the last four.

The semi-final went to extra-time and goals from Marius Tresor and Alain Giresse put France 3-1 up and within touching distance of a first World Cup final.

But Germany levelled with goals from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Klaus Fischer and went on to win the penalty shoot-out 5-4.

France's defeat in one of the great semi-finals was hard to take, given keeper Toni Schumacher should have been sent off for his awful challenge on Patrick Battiston.
