FIFA World Cup · Final · 7 July 1974

Müller Turns and Finishes Off the Dutch

West Germany 2–1 Netherlands · Olympiastadion, Munich

Two penalties early, then Müller's last international goal.

The Dutch scored from the spot in the second minute without a German touching the ball. Breitner equalised on 25 minutes, also from the spot. Müller then turned in the box and scored with two minutes left in the half, his last international goal.
