Mario Kempes had the reputation of a notorious goal scorer. The hardworking striker had a game style which the defenders found it very tough to understand.
Before the World Cup 1978 in Argentina he was the highest goal scorer in the last two seasons of Spainish Primera Liga. Now it was the test of the player at the greatest stage in soccer. He could not do much at the same event at West Germany in 1974.
Argentina ended as the runners up in the group stage. The next stage games of Kempes’s team were held at the Rosario venue.
He scored two goals in his team’s 2-0 victory against Poland. Then he added two more goals to his tally in the 6-0 victory against Peru. Then happened the keenly awaited final against Netherlands at Buenos Aires. He scored two fabulous goals in it and provided the assist to Bertoni in the third goal of his team. Argentina were awarded the trophy by winning the final 3-1. Undoubtedly, the hero of their win was Kempes.
