Probably no decision in soccer history is as controversial as England's third goal in the 1966 World Cup final against Germany: goal or no goal?
Manfred Oldenburg received the Bavarian Television Award in 2007 for his documentary.
It is the 101.
minute of extra time in the final.
With the score at 2:2, England's Geoffrey Hurst chases the ball against the bottom edge of the German crossbar, from where it bounces vertically downwards and back into the field.
The Swiss referee Dienst decides: Goal.
The final is decided.
For 40 years, no camera angle could clarify whether the ball was actually behind the line.
Thanks to new, spectacular film finds and scientific calculations, this 45-minute documentary finally sheds light on Germany's most painful soccer defeat.
First broadcast: Sun., June 04, 2006, 11:40 p.m., ZDF.
