29 Goals From Outside The Box | 1994 World Cup Nostalgia

Over the top, onside, Hessler touches it inside and Jürgen Klinsmann controversially gives Germany the lead. The Libyan protests but only momentary and Jürgen Klinsmann scores the first goal of USA 94. Hong hits it and it's a good effort to and it's in. It took a mighty deflection on route but that won't bother these South Koreans or Hong Myung-mo who will be credited with the goal. The texted hair forward. Viola cat-like on his line, it's whipped past him. Bregi, oh it's a fabulous goal. Curled delightfully to the corner by Bregi who's come close to scoring on quite a few occasions in this first half. Five in the wall. Oh and a goal. Pescalo beaten and Wernelda has equalized for the United States. Went up towards Coyne. Townsend right in there. Houghton also making his presence felt. There's his shot. Position. To Petrescu, Petrescu and it's down the left that they concentrate this attack. Oh what a stunning blow that one is and George Agi proves his worth yet again. The Colombian goalkeeper Cordova caught absolutely cold. What a terrific strike though from Agi. Strong lad. Dutch celebrate now. Fantastic shot though. A super goal when most it was needed. It's the last minute of the first half. It's Batistuta. Oh what a goal. Gabriele Batistuta with his second of the game and one of the best of the tournament so far. Caminero forward with Julio Salinas. Vojvodina providing the whip on the right. Then it goes towards Julio Salinas. Up until a few days he can never score for his country. Now it's two goals in two World Cup matches. It's Saudi Arabia who are ending the half on the attack with a shot coming in. Oh goal for Saudi Arabia. It's Amin again. It dipped and it swerved and it beat Uzmi. The goalkeeper has to take the blame. Kouad Amin gets his second World Cup goal. Nigeria it's onside. Here's a chance. The goalkeeper in no man's land and it's a goal. CSCA linked it well. They weren't too convincing in the opening game against Bolivar as a shot comes in. Oh what a goal. What a goal. That has stunned Germany. Hong the sweeper breaks from the defensive role and has brought Korea back into the game. Alves. Here's Apolloni with the tackle. Bernal. Goalkeeper Marcos Gianni. Here's George. That's a terrific goal by Fadidi George. A really clever piece of that kick. Deep into injury time and Nigeria have taken the lead. Still no sign of the final whistle. Amokachi plowing through. Well that's finished it now and that will go down as one of the best of the competition. Splendid strike by Amokachi. His second goal in the World Cup finals to complete the Nigerian victory. That makes certain of their place in the next phase. It was a cracking goal. Now attempting to break. Lovely ball forward. Bulgaria have a chance of taking the lead. It's a goal. Stoichkov scores and that might be the goal that clinches Bulgaria's place in the next round. Hristo Stoichkov destroys Argentina with his pace and his accuracy. And Shapisar still down and the referee says play on and this could be the first round. Played it superbly really as the Swiss came out and Hierro thundering on through a posse of white jerks gives Spain a dramatic start. Goes Kenneth Anderson again and he's done well to get over the first challenge. It's great play by Anderson. Oh that's a shoot in Sweden. Six minutes into the first half. Six minutes into the second half. Bang. 2-0. That might be the quarterfinal. Dremitrescu. Oh terrific goal. Caught them out completely. It was Dremitrescu who curled it right footed into the corner. Oh it was a stunning goal. Finds Junk. Vim Junk driving forward again. He'll unleash a shot this time and Bona makes a hash of it and Vim Junk scores the second Dutch goal and that might be the killing blow. Dino Baggio again. Oh what about that one. Super strike. A little bit of holding the ball up on the left hand side. Donadoni didn't toss the ball into the box. Picks out Dino Baggio. One touch and he's rifled that in. That's as good a strike. That's a magnificent strike. Here is Bracco. Fantastic free kick by Bracco. That's his reply. That is an awesome strike. The Germans hoping they've got the wall right. Stoichkov. Oh it's another three-star. Stoichkov makes it 1-1 and the Germans haven't got it right. Ilner seemed to be motionless all his life. That's Stoichkov with his fifth goal of the tournament. Leporius moving forward from the Romanian ranks. There's a slip there and Radu Cioia for Romania. And Romania have turned it around with a fourth goal of the campaign for Florian Radu Cioia. Still little sign of either side getting on top although the Italians I would think have had the majority of possession. Without creating a shooting chance shots there might be one now. It's a super goal. Baggio again. Well there's no stopping him at the moment. He takes his goals so clinically and for once Arrigo Sacchi can celebrate a goal early. Roberto Baggio's 23rd goal for his country and just what Italy needed.
