Best Answer

The first penalty shootout in the World Cup finals was the 1982 semi-final between France and Germany (Tunisia beat Morroco on penalties in the qualifying for the 1978 World Cup). After 90 minutes the score was 1- 1 so it went to extra time where both teams scored two goals resulting in the final score of 3 - 3 after extra time. In the penalty shootout Germany's Uli Stelike and France's Dider Six had their penalties saved and after 5 penalties each the score was 4-4 so the shootout went to sudden death. Maxime Bosses stepped up to take the first sudden death penalty for France but saw it saved. Horst Hrubesch took the next penalty and scored it to send Germany through to the final and knock France out.
