    1960 semi-finals: France 4-5 Yugoslavia

    The opening game of the inaugural tournament produced an encounter barely matched for drama in the 56 years since. Early blows were traded before France went 2-1 up just before half-time, yet there was little sign of the explosion of goals to come. Les Bleus doubled their advantage twice – either side of Ante Žanetić's 55th-minute effort – to lead 4-2 with a quarter of an hour left, but three goals in five minutes turned the match on its head in remarkable fashion.
