#2 1954 World Cup final: West Germany 3-2 Hungary
Next up in our list is the 1954 World Cup final, played at the Wankdorf stadium in Switzerland which saw West Germany beat Hungary 3-2.
One might wonder, how come a German win, over the Hungarians, qualify as an upset! Well, it does, for two simple reasons.
One, in 1954, the Germans, still reeling from the political and economic fallout of World War II, weren't the force in world football as they are today.
And two, Hungary, in the five years prior to the World Cup, was unbeaten; hence, were the favourite to win the tournament.
Led by the legendary Ferenc Puskas (you've heard about the Puskas awards, right? Yeah, that's the man), the Hungarian side had decimated both the finalists of the last edition (Brazil and Uruguay) in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively to enter the final as an overwhelming favourite.
West Germany, though, showed promise by beating strong sides like Yugoslavia and Austria, however, were not given even the slightest of chance of winning in the final by the media.
But what transpired on 4th of July inside that stadium in Bern, was nothing short of a miracle. The Germans came back from two goals down to produce one of the greatest heists in World Cups ever as they downed Hungary 3-2 in the end.
