Summary

After a scoreless first half during which Antonio Cabrini fired a penalty low and wide to the right of goal, Paolo Rossi scored first,
heading home a bouncing Claudio Gentile cross from the right from close range. Marco Tardelli then scored from the edge of the
area with a low left footed shot before Alessandro Altobelli, at the end of a counterattack by winger Bruno Conti, made it 3–0 with
another low left footed shot. Italy's lead appeared secure, encouraging Italian president Sandro Pertini to wag his finger at the
cameras in a playful 'not going to catch us now' gesture from the stands. Paul Breitner scored for Germany in the 83rd minute, firing
low past the goalkeeper from the right, but Italy held on to claim their first World Cup title in 44 years, and their third in total with a
3–1 victory.[4]
