Match No. 664 - Saturday, 7th July 1990, 8:00pm

  • "[Shilton] was moving the ball away from goal casually with his feet when Baggio intervened to take it off him and pass to Schillaci, who was coming in from the right. By the time Schillaci returned to ball to Baggio, Shilton was uttertly stranded and the most expensive footballer in the world was able to dribble carefully in front of the posts before lifting the ball high into the net." When the ball was played back to Baggio he is offside but the linesman misses this as Shilton is out of his goal and only Walker is nearer the goal line. Roberto Baggio, 71'70:18
  • "With the five minutes remaining, and Italy flooding into attack again, Parker missed a tackle on Schillaci and the two finished in a tangle near the penalty spot. The result was a penalty and Schillaci watched Shilton dive the wrong way as he scored easily. Salvatore Schillaci, 86'85:03 (pen)
