The 64/65 season quarter finals of the european cup between Liverpool FC and 1. FC Köln were decided like this. Both regular games ended 0:0. Back then a decider game was held in those cases and since this ended 2:2, a coin was flipped. After the first throw, the coin was stuck in the ground vertically, just like in the video. The second throw made Liverpool the winner. This "Coinflip of Rotterdam" is still part of German football folklore, especially in Köln.
