A Big Mistake

The only and biggest mistake England made was to hush things up. After scoring three goals they should have sealed it but instead of that Roger Hunt hurriedly passed the ball to Charlton that in turn made Germans get back in their form. In the 89th minute, German defender Wolfgang Weber drove the ball past Banks only to face goalmouth scramble that gave way to free kick. By now all the player of both the teams were fatigued and were sprawling on the ground. The decisive moment had arrived with Alan Ball passing the ball to Hurst in the penalty area. It was a prelude to what we call the world’s one of the most controversial moments in the football World cup. Hurst made a right footed shot that dashed past Hans Tilkowski and striking the inner of the crossbar and lastly hoping on the goal-line. Hunt upped is hand in air jovially whereas the entire stadium and 400 million viewers who were watching the match on Tv were confused about the goal including Gottfried Dienst a Swiss referee too. Dienst went up to Tofik Bakhramov linesman to confirm if the ball crossed the goal-line entirely or not. In reply, the linesman indicated towards center circle by his flag which meant it was a GOAL.
