Six epic EURO semi-finals

France 4-5 Yugoslavia, 1960
The first ever game at a UEFA EURO finals set a thrillingly high standard, though there was little hint of the drama to come as half-time neared at the Parc des Princes. The two teams were locked together at 1-1, but François Huette fired Les Bleus in front on 43 minutes and he later added a second to make it 4-2. Yugoslavia, it seemed, were beaten. Instead, they had a shock in store for the home side, plundering three goals in the space of five minutes in what remains the competition’s highest-scoring match.
