Italy vs Hungary, 6 June 1978..
1-0: Paolo Rossi (35') – Franco Causio initiated the move down the right flank, sending a cross into the box. Roberto Bettega's initial attempt was blocked, but Pablito was perfectly positioned in the six-yard box to pounce on the rebound, clipping it past Hungarian keeper Sándor Gujdár.
An absolute masterclass in Mar del Plata. This 3-1 victory against Hungary secured Enzo Bearzot’s men a spot in the second group stage of the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, following their opening win against France.
The match showcased the breathtaking chemistry of the Blocco-Juve core combined with the explosive emergence of a young Paolo Rossi. Italy played with a fluid, attacking swagger that completely dismantled the Hungarian defense in a two-minute first-half blitz.
