German World Cup: Andreas Brehme, who scored the winner in the final of the 1990 World Cup against Argentina to help West Germany win the title, passed away on Tuesday, aged 63.

Brehme "died suddenly" from cardiac arrest on Monday night, his partner Susanne Schaefer told German news agency DPA.

The former German defender was a key member of Lothar Matthäus' team and scored the winner off a penalty in the final against Diego Maradona's Argentina in Rome as Germany won their second title.
