DO YOU THE PLAYER THAT SCORED THE FIRST PENALTY KICK IN A FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL MATCH?



Johan Neeskens of the Netherlands while playing club football for AFC Ajax Amsterdam, scored the first ever penalty kick in a FIFA World Cup final match against West Germany in Munich during the West Germany 1974 FIFA World Cup only after two minutes which his team eventually lost 1-2 to two Gerd Muller's goals.

Neeskens was capped 49 times for his country, scoring 17 goals. He made his debut against East Germany in 1970, and played a crucial role in the West Germany 1974 and Argentina 1978 FIFA World Cups, playing in central midfield.
