Down in four minutes. Champions by Wednesday.

July 27, 1930. The first World Cup ever staged. Uruguay walk into their semi-final at the Centenario — a stadium opened just nine days earlier — and fall behind inside four minutes. Then Pedro Cea equalizes, and the hosts pour in five more, Cea completing a hat-trick. 6-1: the exact score Argentina posted one day before. Three days later, Cea scores again in the final. Uruguay 4-2 Argentina. First hosts. First champions. Forever first.
