[*] this win against West Germany, the so-called "Wunder von Córdoba",
obtained mythical status in Austrian football history; while it was
the first win by Austria in a World Cup tournament against their
unloved neighbours ("Piefkes"), after distressing losses in 1934
and 1954, it is usually forgotten that the match was of very limited
interest: Austria had already been eliminated, and while West Germany
would have reached the third place match in case of a draw, their
chances to defend their 1974 title were more than remote: they
needed a draw in the parallel match between the Netherlands and
Italy (which didn't happen) coupled with a 5-goal win against Austria
to reach the final
