Juan Hohberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juan Eduardo Hohberg (born June 19, 1926) was an Uruguayan football player and coach.

Hohberg scored three goals as a forward for the Uruguay national football team in the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland, including two in one of the most exciting World Cup matches ever played, the semi-final with Hungary. His second goal in the 86th minute of that match sent the game into extra time, where Hungary finally prevailed 4-2 after two goals by Sándor Kocsis.

In addition, Hohberg was the Uruguay's coach at the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, leading them to a fourth-place finish.
