The Match is a 2021 Croatian-American sports historical drama directed by Dominik and Jakov Sedlar and starring Franco Nero, Armand Assante, and Caspar Phillipson.

To commemorate Adolf Hitler’s birthday, the Nazis organized a football match between an elite Nazi team and a squad of inmates from the camps made up of ex-footballers and political prisoners.

Led by the former Hungarian football captain the team of prisoners are winning by virtue of their skills.

During the half time they are given an assurance that they win freedom if they lose deliberately.

The story is told in flashback by the last member of the team, then a boy, who manages to survive.
