19:00 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Jacqui Hurley presents coverage of the first semi-final (Kick-off 8.00pm), which takes place at Dallas Stadium in the USA. Some of the greatest matches in World Cup history have taken place at this stage of the tournament, including a 1958 encounter between Brazil and France, when a 17-year-old Pele scored a 23-minute hat-trick in a 5-2 victory, while 1970 saw Italy triumph 4-3 over West Germany in Mexico, with five of the seven goals scored in extra time in a game many will remember for Franz Beckenbauer playing with his arm in a makeshift sling after dislocating his shoulder. The West Germans avenged that loss 12 years later with a penalty shootout victory in Spain in one of the most controversial matches in history, which saw West German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher deliberately collide with French player Patrick Battiston, knocking him unconscious and forcing him from the game with two missing teeth and three cracked ribs. Schumacher didn't even receive a yellow card and kept goal for the remainder of the match, which his side won on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw, in what was the first-ever World Cup finals match to be decided by spot kicks |
