Geoff Hurst's shot hit the crossbar and fell to the goal line, after which the football was removed from the goalpost. It did not look like a goal, but the referee called it a goal, saying that the ball had crossed the goal line. This goal put England ahead in the match, after which they won the match 4–2 in extra time.

Hans Tilkowski, the team's backup goalkeeper at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, also played football between 1952 and 1970 for clubs such as Westphalia Herne, Borussia Dortmund, and Eintracht Frankfurt. Former footballer Geoff Hurst mourned his death, saying, 'It is very sad to know that 1966 World Cup goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski passed away. He was a great player for his country and club, and he was a better person than that. I enjoyed my time spent with him.'
