2. France 4-5 Yugoslavia – 1960 semi-finals
A nine-goal thriller in a semi-final of European Championship and a win for Yugoslavia in Paris. France led 3-1 and then the scoreline read 4-2 with almost fifteen minutes of play remaining. The home crowd were ready to celebrate the Les Blues’ entry into the finals, which was also to be held in Paris when Yugoslavia pulled one back in the 75th minute.
Yugoslavia never lost hope and the turnaround happened, thanks to some poor French defending. A brace from Drazan Jerkovic, with goals in the 78th and 79th minute, helped Yugoslavia take the lead. Three goals in the space of four minutes and the host and their fans were shell-shocked.
