"Their reward came in a moment of England indecision in the 6[8th] minute. Beckenbauer dribbled past Mullery and fired the ball into the corner of the net." Franz Beckenbauer, 69'68:00
"Once more Schnellinger found a way through, lobbed over the ball and Seeler brilliantly back-headed past Bonetti, who was way out of position." Uwe Seeler, 82'81:32
"But with just 12 minutes of extra time left the two wingers of Germany were concerned in the crucial goal. Over on the right Grabowski shrugged his way past the defence, lobbed over the ball to Lohr on the opposite wing. He returned the ball to the centre and Muller was there to score." Gerd Müller, 108'107:56
