The '''Disgrace of Gijón''' ({{Langx|es|Desgracia de Gijón}}) was a [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] football match played between [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] and [[Austria national football team|Austria]] at the [[El Molinón|El Molinón stadium]] in [[Gijón]], Spain, on 25 June 1982.  The match was the sixth and last game of the first-round [[1982 FIFA World Cup Group 2|Group 2]], with the fifth game having concluded the previous day.

Due to the tiebreaker rules in the group stage, a West German win by one or two goals would ensure that both Austria and West Germany advanced to the next round. West Germany scored the only goal in the first 10 minutes of the match, which progressively deteriorated to a virtual standstill in the second half.<ref name="GuardianWorldCup"/>  Despite widespread condemnation and a formal complaint lodged by [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] – who were consequently eliminated – [[FIFA]] ruled that neither team had broken any rules. 

Following this match, along with similar matches at the previous World Cup in Argentina, FIFA subsequently revised the group system for future tournaments so that the final two games in each group would be played simultaneously.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Booth|first1=Lawrence|last2=Smyth|first2=Rob|title=What's the dodgiest game in football history?|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/aug/11/theknowledge.sport|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|location=London|date=11 August 2004|access-date=16 June 2018}}</ref> This change made it highly impractical for teams to engage in match-fixing, since they would not know what result was required ahead of time.

Algeria began their campaign by recording a surprising 2–1 win over West Germany on the opening day, described as the "greatest World Cup upset since [[North Korea national football team|North Korea]] beat [[Italy national football team|Italy]] in [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966]]",<ref name = "Pittsburgh">{{cite news|last=Vecsey|first=George|author-link=George Vecsey|title=When West Germany and Austria danced a Vienna waltz|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ldJaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=k20DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6963%2C6311110|newspaper=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]]|date=29 June 1982|access-date=24 July 2014|page=12}}</ref> and as "one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history".<ref name="Day of the Match">{{cite book|title=Day of the Match|page=[https://archive.org/details/dayofmatchhistor0000murr/page/183 183]|first1=Scott|last1=Murray|first2=Rowan|last2=Walker|year=2008|publisher=Boxtree|chapter=June 25 – West Germany 1–0 Austria: 'El Anchluss' (1982)|isbn=978-0-7522-2678-1|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/dayofmatchhistor0000murr/page/183}}</ref> Algeria became the first African or Arab team to defeat a European team at the [[FIFA World Cup]]. They then went on to lose 0–2 to Austria before beating Chile 3–2 in their final match. Algeria's victory over Chile made them the first ever African or Arab team to win twice at a World Cup.<ref name="Day of the Match" />

As Algeria played that final match the day before West Germany met Austria, the two European teams knew what result they needed in order to qualify for the next round. Any West German win by one or two goals would see both West Germany and Austria qualify based on goal differential tiebreaker. A West German victory by four goals or more would see West Germany and Algeria qualify.  A West German win by exactly three goals would send Austria and Algeria to the next tiebreaker (goals scored), where Austria would need to score at least two goals in defeat to advance in this scenario. West Germany would not advance without a victory.

==Match==

===Summary===
After ten minutes of furious attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by [[Horst Hrubesch]] after a cross from the left. After the goal was scored, the team in possession of the ball often passed between themselves in their own half until an opposition player came into the vicinity of the ball, then the ball was passed back to the goalkeeper. Isolated long balls were played into the opposition's half, with little consequence. There were few tackles, and both sets of players flamboyantly missed with apparently no attempt at accuracy whenever they shot on goal. The only Austrian player who seemed to make any effort at livening the game up was [[Walter Schachner]], though he had little success, while one of the few serious attempts on net was made by [[Wolfgang Dremmler]] of West Germany.<ref name="GuardianWorldCup" />

This performance was widely deplored by all observers. West German [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] commentator Eberhard Stanjek at one point refused to commentate on the game any longer. Austrian commentator Robert Seeger bemoaned the spectacle, and asked viewers to turn off their television sets. [[George Vecsey]], a ''[[New York Times]]'' journalist, stated that the teams "seemed to work in concert", though added that proving such would be impossible.<ref name="Pittsburgh" /> ''[[El Comercio (Spain)|El Comercio]]'', the local newspaper, printed the match report in its crime section.<ref name=espnfc>{{cite news|last1=Honigstein|first1=Raphael|title=Germany won't repeat 1982 mistakes|url=http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/4/blog/post/1922852/germany-wont-repeat-1982-mistakes|publisher=ESPN Internet Ventures, LLC|website=ESPNFC.com|date=29 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140725115118/http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/4/blog/post/1922852/germany-wont-repeat-1982-mistakes|access-date=16 July 2014|archive-date=25 July 2014}} Original link location: http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/4/blog/post/1922852/germany-wont-repeat-1982-mistakes</ref>

Likewise, many spectators were not impressed and voiced their disgust with the players. Chants of "{{lang|es|¡Fuera, fuera!}}" ("Out, out!"), "{{lang|es|¡Argelia, Argelia!}}" ("Algeria, Algeria!"), and "{{lang|es|¡Que se besen, que se besen!}}" ("Let them kiss, let them kiss!", which is commonly used at weddings) were shouted by the Spanish crowd,<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/PosNh9VGMPI Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120219015724/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PosNh9VGMPI Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=290&v=PosNh9VGMPI| title = Estafa en el molinón | website=[[YouTube]]| date = 5 July 2007 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. The match was criticized even by the West German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978 World Cup]] match, the so-called "[[Austria v West Germany (1978 FIFA World Cup)|Miracle of Córdoba]]", in which Austria had beaten West Germany; one West German fan burned the national flag in protest.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=6088|title=World Cup Tales: The Shame Of Gijon, 1982|date=9 May 2010|work=twohundredpercent.net|access-date=30 December 2010|location=London|archive-date=19 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150919022725/http://twohundredpercent.net/?p=6088|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Doyle|first=Paul|title=The day in 1982 when the world wept for Algeria|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jun/13/1982-world-cup-algeria|newspaper=The Guardian|location=London|date=13 June 2010|access-date=30 December 2011}}</ref>

==Aftermath==
{{:1982 FIFA World Cup Group 2|transcludesection=standings}}
With West Germany's 1–0 victory, they joined Austria and Algeria with four points in three matches. The teams were separated by goal difference, with West Germany and Austria progressing to the next round of the tournament at the expense of Algeria. The [[match-fixing]] saw Austria give up their opportunity to be first in the group (by winning or drawing the match) in exchange for a sure opportunity to advance. The bargaining positions of the two teams were affected by West Germany being in danger of elimination if they failed to win, but also being the better team.<ref>{{citation|url=http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/3085/1/MPRA_paper_3085.pdf|title=The Economics of Match-Fixing|first=R|last=Caruso|date=2007}}</ref> By coming second in the group, Austria's second-stage group was France and Northern Ireland. West Germany's opponents were hosts Spain and England who had previously beaten France. Also, for three of the starting players ([[Horst Hrubesch]] for West Germany, [[Josef Degeorgi]] and [[Roland Hattenberger]] for Austria), an additional incentive to avoid aggressive play was that they had been previously booked in their respective teams' first two games. Under the rules then in force, an additional yellow card for any of them in the final group match would have resulted in them serving an automatic one-match ban to start the second round.

After the match, the West German team went back to their hotel where they were met by furious spectators who threw eggs and other projectiles at them; the West Germans returned fire with water bombs.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Disgrace of Gijon: West Germany and Austria's match of shame at 1982 World Cup|url=https://theathletic.com/3643998/2022/11/15/west-germany-austria-disgrace-of-gijon-world-cup/|publisher=[[The Athletic]]|date=15 November 2022|access-date=26 April 2024}}</ref> German and Austrian television commentators were so appalled at the match that they urged viewers on live television to stop watching the match and watch something else. The Algerian football officials lodged an official protest. In addition, the president of the [[Algerian Football Federation]] opined that referee [[Bob Valentine (referee)|Bob Valentine]] should have intervened and his failure to do so was worthy of complaint.<ref>{{cite news|title=Cup game labeled as 'fix'|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jvVVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=W-IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6088%2C6157584|newspaper=[[The Register-Guard]]|location=Eugene|date=26 June 1982|access-date=24 July 2014}}</ref> However, FIFA considered that no rules were broken as a result of the match, and declined to take any action.

As a result of the game, from the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|World Cup 1986]] onward, the final pair of group matches in World Cups always start simultaneously.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.algeria.com/blog/the-game-that-changed-the-world-cup-algeria|title=The Game that Changed the World Cup&nbsp;— Algeria|work=algeria.com|access-date=15 September 2009}}</ref>

Later journalists have taken another look at the match, wondering if claims of "non-aggression" are exaggerated. In ''[[The Irish Times]]'', Rob Smyth wrote that "The 10 minutes after Hrubesch's goal would even be described as exhilarating in some cultures, with [[Wolfgang Dremmler]] forcing a fine save from [[Friedrich Koncilia]] (the second and final shot on target in the match) and [[Paul Breitner]] missing two good chances. The game slows down towards half-time, principally because the hitherto dominant Germany start to play on the [[counterattack]]. Hrubesch would have had a clear shooting chance in the 57th minute had he not hopelessly miscontrolled [[Felix Magath]]’s expert chip. As late as the 77th minute, when the game was losing what edge it had, [[Bernd Krauss]] broke into the box and forced a desperate clearance from [[Hans-Peter Briegel]]. A goal then would have put West Germany out."<ref name="smyth">{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/world-cup-moments-1982-s-disgrace-of-gij%C3%B3n-1.3479123|title=World Cup moments: 1982's 'Disgrace of Gijón'|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] }}</ref>

Almost all participants denied an outright agreement to fix the match. Austrian player Reinhold Hintermaier described the situation on the pitch as follows: "It somehow took on a life of its own - everyone just thought that they wanted to get ahead".<ref name=Hintermaier>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-05 |title="Schande von Gijon": Lasst uns das nach Hause schaukeln |trans-title="Disgrace of Gijón": Let's Drive This Home |last=Münchrath |first=Manfred |url=https://www.kicker.de/schande-von-gijon_lasst-uns-das-nach-hause-schaukeln-700331/artikel |access-date=2023-07-01 |website=kicker |language=de}}</ref>

Similar to the controversial West Germany versus Austria game, both teams knew that a narrow victory for Northern Ireland would secure their advancement to the knockout stages. After Gerry Armstrong scored the decisive goal in the 47th minute, the game witnessed a significant drop in intensity, with neither side making substantial efforts to score, raising concerns about the competition's integrity and prompting calls for FIFA to reconsider World Cup rules to prevent collusion.

Japan scored two goals within the first 15 minutes, after which both teams exhibited notably passive play for the remaining 75 minutes, with no shots attempted by either side. This result effectively eliminated [[China women's national football team|China]] from contention.
