Notes

  • Match InfoInstead of the usual lineup of two teams either side of the officials, the two teams lineup up together, side-by-side to show unity after the Heysel tragedy of the week before.
  • Altobelli: Penalty"..the Italians won the match with a penalty in the 90th minute from Altobelli after Stevens had been adjudged to have brought down Vierchowod [89:46]." In fact, TV replays show that Stevens had won the ball. Altobelli rolls his penalty past Shilton's right-hand.
