Former national team striker Lakhdar Belloumi told On Time Sports that his generation’s change in football laws regarding the conduct of the final group games during the 1982 World Cup was more significant to have won against the future world champion, Germany.
“These are facts that will go down in football history, especially with the combination between Germany and Austria. Two great countries combined against Algeria. “explained the former GC Mascara winger.
Lakhdar Belloumi continued: “Thanks to the Algerian team, FIFA changed the laws and now the third match is played at the same time. This change that we managed to bring and better than having won (2-1) against the Germans. “.
The match took place on June 16, 1982, 40 years ago to the day.
