A \nred card threatened to change their fortunes, but Emmanuel Petit & \nco. dug deep to preserve the lead, the dynamic midfielder latching onto a\n through ball to score a well-struck left-footed effort to seal the \nvictory late on to secure France\u2019s maiden FIFA World Cup\u2122 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00e4tthaus, Lothar<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nAt\n his sixth international tournament, Lothar Matth\u00e4us captained West \nGermany in their 1990 FIFA World Cup\u2122 opener against FR Yugoslavia. He \nopened the scoring with a powerful left-footed effort after showing \ngreat ball control. His second of the night was even better. Receiving \nthe ball from midfield, Matth\u00e4us went on a stunning solo run, shimmied \npast an onrushing defender and then scored with a stunning long-range \neffort. Matth\u00e4us later dubbed the 4-1 victory as his best match for \nGermany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schmeichel, Peter<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nLate\n in May 1999, Peter Schmeichel captained Manchester United in his final \ngame \u2013 the UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich. With the \nGerman side leading 1-0, Schmeichel kept his side in the game with a \ncouple of saves that would prove crucial as United scored two quick-fire\n goals in injury time to secure the trophy. Schmeichel celebrated the \nwinning goal with a cartwheel in an iconic moment. The victory meant \nSchmeichel finished his time at the club with a historic trophy treble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pir\u00e8s, Robert<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nIf\n there is one goal that shows how great a player Robert Pir\u00e8s was, it \nhas to be his goal for Arsenal against Aston Villa in 2002. Receiving a \nbouncing ball on the edge of the penalty box, Pir\u00e8s nonchalantly knocked\n the ball over the defender\u2019s head using the outside of his right foot \nwith his first touch. He only needed one other touch to beat the \ngoalkeeper, letting the ball bounce twice and then gracefully lifting \nthe ball over the goalkeeper\u2019s head with the opposite side of the same \nfoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hernandez, Luis<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nMexico\n played Netherlands in the final game in Group E in the 1998 FIFA World \nCup\u2122. Luis Hern\u00e1ndez already had two goals to his name from Mexico\u2019s \nopening match, but it was his goal against the Netherlands that was \ntruly memorable. In the 94th minute, Hernandez latched on to a long ball\n which the Netherlands defence struggled to clear and, through sheer \ndetermination, he beat the goalkeeper on the stretch to prod home an \nequaliser and complete a two-goal comeback for Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kluivert, Patrick<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nHaving\n stormed through the group stage at the 2000 UEFA Euros, the Oranje \nfaced FR Yugoslavia in the quarters. Patrick Kluivert quickly found the \nnet in spectacular fashion, showing great ball control after a brilliant\n one-two. He followed up with an equally sublime goal with a \nperfectly-timed run and clinical finish. Yugoslavia were stunned when \nKluivert completed a remarkable hattrick early in the second half, with \nthe match ending in a 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
van Basten, Marco<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nMarco\n van Basten helped the Netherlands to reach the final of UEFA Euro 1988.\n Playing against a Soviet Union side which had defeated the Netherlands \nearlier in the competition, the Oranje were 1-0 up when Arnold M\u00fchren \ncrossed to the back post from where Marco van Basten unleashed a \nstunning volley from a tight angle. The Netherlands went on to lift the \ntitle with van Basten\u2019s goal widely regarded as one of the greatest \ngoals in the history of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Henry, Thierry<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nArsenal\n arrived at Old Trafford knowing a draw would be enough to secure the \n2001-02 Premier League title. Spirits were high after beating Chelsea in\n the FA Cup final a few days previously, but the visitors were without \nkey men Henry, Adams and Bergkamp. This put added pressure on stand-in \ncaptain Patrick Vieira, but the Frenchman certainly didn\u2019t disappoint. \nHe produced a dominant display, shielding his back four and helping his \nside battle to a 1-0 win to secure the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Del Piero, Alessandro<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nIt\n took until the 119th minute of the 2006 FIFA World Cup\u2122 semi-final for \nItaly to break the deadlock against Germany. With Germany then piling \nmen forward, Italy hit them on the counter and substitute Alessandro Del\n Piero almost immediately doubled the lead, placing a first-time finish \nwith the inside of his foot into the top corner. The goal cued wild \ncelebrations and sealed Italy\u2019s place in the final which they would go \non to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blanc, Laurent<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nLaurent\n Blanc may have missed the 1998 FIFA World Cup\u2122 final, but he was still a\n huge part of France\u2019s success in the competition as he scored the first\n ever golden goal in World Cup history in the Round of 16. Drawing 0-0 \nwith Paraguay and with the game seemingly heading for penalties, France \nwere desperate for the winning goal and flooded the box. Defender Blanc,\n in the perfect poacher\u2019s position, got on the end of a knock-down and \ncalmly hit a low first-time shot into the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarence Seedorf<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nHaving\n been in excellent form throughout Milan\u2019s 2006-07 UEFA Champions League\n campaign, Clarence Seedorf\u2019s biggest performance came in the second leg\n of the semi-final against Manchester United. Trailing 2-3 from the \nfirst leg, Seedorf assisted the opening goal before scoring with a \nwell-placed volley for the second in a 3-0 win, helping the club reach \nthe final. Seedorf\u2019s performances throughout the campaign earned him the\n UEFA Best Midfielder award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
van Nistelrooy, Ruud<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nRuud\n van Nistelrooy was in scintillating form against Fulham in 2003, \nscoring all of the goals as Manchester United ran out 3-0 winners. The \nDutchman clinically netted his second hat-trick of the season, which \nincluded a magnificent solo effort. Faced with a mass of white shirts \nwhen he picked up the ball near the halfway line, van Nistelrooy spotted\n a gap and exploited it superbly, beating six defenders as he charged \ninto the box before producing a cool finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best, George<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nGeorge\n Best’s career highlight came in the 1968 European Cup Final at Wembley \nagainst Benfica. With the game tied at 1-1 going into extra-time, Best \nmade the difference. Taking an exquisite first touch to beat the last \ndefender, Best’s dummy allowed him to go around goalkeeper Jos\u00e9 Henrique\n to slot into an empty net. Two further late goals from Manchester \nUnited sealed a dramatic victory as they won the European Cup in their \nhome country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carlos Puyol<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nSpain had a wealth of incredible attacking talent at the 2010 FIFA World Cup\u2122 but it was defender Carles Puyol who scored the crucial goal in the semi-final against Germany. In the 73rd minute, he was so determined to meet a corner that he jumped in the way of team-mate Gerard Piqu\u00e9, who had looked destined to head it. Thankfully for them both, Puyol made a perfect connection and powered a header into the top corner, sending Spain into their first ever FIFA World Cup\u2122 final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having\n stormed through the group stage at the 2000 UEFA Euros, the Oranje \nfaced FR Yugoslavia in the quarters. Patrick Kluivert quickly found the \nnet in spectacular fashion, showing great ball control after a brilliant\n one-two. He followed up with an equally sublime goal with a \nperfectly-timed run and clinical finish. Yugoslavia were stunned when \nKluivert completed a remarkable hattrick early in the second half, with \nthe match ending in a 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
van Basten, Marco<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nMarco\n van Basten helped the Netherlands to reach the final of UEFA Euro 1988.\n Playing against a Soviet Union side which had defeated the Netherlands \nearlier in the competition, the Oranje were 1-0 up when Arnold M\u00fchren \ncrossed to the back post from where Marco van Basten unleashed a \nstunning volley from a tight angle. The Netherlands went on to lift the \ntitle with van Basten\u2019s goal widely regarded as one of the greatest \ngoals in the history of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Henry, Thierry<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nArsenal\n arrived at Old Trafford knowing a draw would be enough to secure the \n2001-02 Premier League title. Spirits were high after beating Chelsea in\n the FA Cup final a few days previously, but the visitors were without \nkey men Henry, Adams and Bergkamp. This put added pressure on stand-in \ncaptain Patrick Vieira, but the Frenchman certainly didn\u2019t disappoint. \nHe produced a dominant display, shielding his back four and helping his \nside battle to a 1-0 win to secure the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Del Piero, Alessandro<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nIt\n took until the 119th minute of the 2006 FIFA World Cup\u2122 semi-final for \nItaly to break the deadlock against Germany. With Germany then piling \nmen forward, Italy hit them on the counter and substitute Alessandro Del\n Piero almost immediately doubled the lead, placing a first-time finish \nwith the inside of his foot into the top corner. The goal cued wild \ncelebrations and sealed Italy\u2019s place in the final which they would go \non to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blanc, Laurent<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nLaurent\n Blanc may have missed the 1998 FIFA World Cup\u2122 final, but he was still a\n huge part of France\u2019s success in the competition as he scored the first\n ever golden goal in World Cup history in the Round of 16. Drawing 0-0 \nwith Paraguay and with the game seemingly heading for penalties, France \nwere desperate for the winning goal and flooded the box. Defender Blanc,\n in the perfect poacher\u2019s position, got on the end of a knock-down and \ncalmly hit a low first-time shot into the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarence Seedorf<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nHaving\n been in excellent form throughout Milan\u2019s 2006-07 UEFA Champions League\n campaign, Clarence Seedorf\u2019s biggest performance came in the second leg\n of the semi-final against Manchester United. Trailing 2-3 from the \nfirst leg, Seedorf assisted the opening goal before scoring with a \nwell-placed volley for the second in a 3-0 win, helping the club reach \nthe final. Seedorf\u2019s performances throughout the campaign earned him the\n UEFA Best Midfielder award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
van Nistelrooy, Ruud<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nRuud\n van Nistelrooy was in scintillating form against Fulham in 2003, \nscoring all of the goals as Manchester United ran out 3-0 winners. The \nDutchman clinically netted his second hat-trick of the season, which \nincluded a magnificent solo effort. Faced with a mass of white shirts \nwhen he picked up the ball near the halfway line, van Nistelrooy spotted\n a gap and exploited it superbly, beating six defenders as he charged \ninto the box before producing a cool finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best, George<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nGeorge\n Best’s career highlight came in the 1968 European Cup Final at Wembley \nagainst Benfica. With the game tied at 1-1 going into extra-time, Best \nmade the difference. Taking an exquisite first touch to beat the last \ndefender, Best’s dummy allowed him to go around goalkeeper Jos\u00e9 Henrique\n to slot into an empty net. Two further late goals from Manchester \nUnited sealed a dramatic victory as they won the European Cup in their \nhome country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carlos Puyol<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nSpain had a wealth of incredible attacking talent at the 2010 FIFA World Cup\u2122 but it was defender Carles Puyol who scored the crucial goal in the semi-final against Germany. In the 73rd minute, he was so determined to meet a corner that he jumped in the way of team-mate Gerard Piqu\u00e9, who had looked destined to head it. Thankfully for them both, Puyol made a perfect connection and powered a header into the top corner, sending Spain into their first ever FIFA World Cup\u2122 final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
