I lost a grand final 13-12 on penalties once.

The most hardbreaking loss I ever had.

Germany/Italy semi, wc 1970 - from wiki

The other, all-European semi-final was regarded by many as the greatest World Cup game ever. Italy took a 1-0 lead through Roberto Boninsegna on 8 minutes after an excellent "one-two" combination with Luigi Riva.

West Germany pressed to equalize for the rest of the game, until the very end when sweeper Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, then with Italy's AC Milan, scored in injury time.

In extra time, Gerd Mller brought Germany the lead on 94 minutes before Italy defender Tarcisio Burgnich leveled the score with a rare international goal.

On 104 minutes, Riva made it 3-2 past goalkeeper Sepp Maier, only for Mller to equalize six minutes later.

Next minute Italy midfielder Gianni Rivera, left unmarked near the penalty spot, volleyed a fine Boninsegna cross past Maier for the winning goal in the 111th minute.

Franz Beckenbauer sustained a broken clavicle after trying to gain a foul by diving during extra time. As Helmut Schn, the West German manager, had already used the two permitted substitutes, Beckenbauer stayed on with his arm in a sling. This match is regarded as the "Game of the Century", also known as the Partita del Secolo in Italy and Jahrhundertspiel in Germany
