74. Amokachi - Finidi George - Yekini. The first world cup goal for the Super Eagles of Nigeria (against Bulgaria), and boy does he enjoy it!

78. Colombian defender Andres Escobar scores an own-goal against the USA, and days later is gunned down at home in Medellin.

79. A stunning goal by Gheorghe Hagi of Romania: his shot from the left-hand touchline catches the Colombian goalie off his line.

80. At the Yankee Stadium, where better for Italy and Ireland to meet. Ray Houghton's 12th minute flighted goal over Italian goalie Pagliuca seals Ireland's first ever World Cup finals win.

81. With his players exhausted by heat and dehydration, Ireland manager Jack Charlton rows furiously with officials at pitchside over the delay in getting substitute Aldridge on the pitch.
