FIFA World Cup 1998 (champions - France)
The 1998 World Cup ended with hosts France beating holders Brazil 3-0 at the Stade de France on 12 July 1998 - two first-half Zidane headers from corners and an injury-time third by Emmanuel Petit - for their first title, making France the sixth host nation to win at home.
Why this wins its question: The goal mechanics (corner takers, the two-headers distinction) bound to FIFA's retrospective rather than highlight-reel memory; connects to France 2018 and Deschamps in this graph.

France beat Brazil 3-0 in the World Cup final at the Stade de France on 12 July 1998 to win their first title, becoming the sixth host nation to win the tournament at home, before a crowd of 80,000.
Zinedine Zidane scored two first-half headers from corners delivered by Emmanuel Petit and Youri Djorkaeff - he remains the only player to score two headers in a World Cup final - and Petit added the third in stoppage time from Patrick Vieira's pass.
