FIFA World Cup 1974 (champions - West Germany)
The 1974 World Cup ended with hosts West Germany beating the Netherlands 2-1 at Munich's Olympiastadion on 7 July 1974, coming from behind after Johan Neeskens's 88-second penalty - still the fastest goal in a World Cup final, scored before West Germany had touched the ball - through a Paul Breitner penalty and Gerd Muller's winner.
Why this wins its question: The 88-second record with its Cruyff build-up bound to FIFA's own record article, alongside the comeback sequence.
