The Legacy

Uruguay reached the semi-finals of the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Under Juan Hohberg, the side relied on the defensive stability of Ladislao Mazurkiewicz in goal and Julio Montero Castillo at the back. Attacking duties fell to Luis Cubilla and Ildo Maneiro as the team navigated a difficult path to the final four. They eventually finished fourth in the tournament after losses to Brazil and West Germany. Sanz Hermanos manufactured this home shirt, which saw action against the best sides in the world during the tournament.

Key Moment

The dramatic 1-0 quarter-final victory over the Soviet Union, decided by Victor Esparrago's goal in the 117th minute of extra time.
