Most Unusual India - Germany Match: The final pool match for
India in the 1975 World Cup was against Germany. With a draw (against Australia)
and a loss (to Argentina), India had to defeat Germany to qualify for the
semi-finals. The match was abandoned 10 minutes into the second half due to poor
light, with India leading 1-0. A new match was scheduled for a replay,
disregarding the existing score. India protested, the protest was rejected.
India appealed, the appeal was rejected. In the rematch, India defeated Germany
3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, before going on to win its
solitary World Cup.
