Summary
First round
The format of the 1990 competition remained the same as in 1986: 24 qualified teams were divided into six groups of four. The top two teams and four best third place finishers from the six groups advanced to the knockout stage.
The 1990 World Cup finals got off to a surprising start. In the first match, Cameroon soaked up pressure from Argentina. After a quarter of an hour's play in the second half, Cameroon's Andre Kana was sent off, and it seemed certain that the world champions would now take control. But six minutes later, the ten men took the lead. Argentina pressed hard for an equaliser, and Cameroon were reduced to nine men when Benjamin Massing got the red card in the 89th minute – but the African team still held out for a shock 1–0 win. Then, when Cameroon faced Romania in their second game, Roger Milla took centre stage. He had been a favourite in the Cameroon team for years, but he was now 38 years old. He was only in Italy because of political intervention: Paul Biya, Cameroon's President, had insisted that Milla .
Against Argentina, Milla only appeared for the last ten minutes. But in the match with Romania, Cameroon coach Valeri Nepomniachi sent him on in the 58th minute, with the score still 0–0. It proved to be an inspired move. Milla scored with 15 minutes left, then added another with five minutes remaining, thus getting two opportunities to demonstrate his trademark hip-shaking goal celebration dance. Cameroon held on to win 2–1. Surprisingly, they were beaten 4–0 in their last group game by a Soviet Union side desperately, and unsuccessfully, striving to stay in the tournament on goal difference. Despite the heavy defeat, Cameroon were through to the second round as group winners. Romania came second in Group B, and Argentina just scraped into the second round as one of the best third-placed teams.
Group C. Costa Rica beat Scotland 1–0 in their first match, held Brazil to another 1–0 scoreline in their second, then saw off Sweden 2–1 to claim a place in the second round. with a 2–1 win over Sweden, then beat both Costa Rica and Scotland 1–0. Scotland's 2–1 win over Sweden.
In the six Group F games, featuring the Netherlands, England, the Republic of Ireland and Egypt, no team managed to score more than once in a match. England beat Egypt 1–0, thanks to a 64th minute goal from Mark Wright – and that was enough to win the group.
There were more goals in Group D, but a lot of them were due to the defensive inadequacies of a United Arab Emirates team that lost 2–0 to Colombia, 5–1 to West Germany and 4–1 to Yugoslavia. All three of the UAE's first round opponents reached the last 16, with West Germany topping the group after an impressive 4–1 win over group runners-up Yugoslavia. The last match of the group between Colombia and West Germany was the most emotional. Germany's Pierre Littbarski managed to score a goal in the 89th minute, virtually knocking the South Americans out of the tournament, but at minute 92, Freddy Rincón scored the equaliser after a wonderful team work and a fantastic assistance from Carlos Valderrama.
Italy won Group A with a 100 per cent record achieved via cautious football. They beat Austria and the United States 1–0, and Czechoslovakia 2–0. Salvatore 'Toto' Schillaci, who had played only one international before the World Cup finals, came on as substitute in the 74th minute against Austria and scored Italy's winner four minutes later. Czechoslovakia defeated the USA 5–1 and claimed the runner-up spot in the group. winners of Group E were Spain, for who Michel hit a hat-trick as they beat South Korea 3–1. Belgium and Uruguay also reached the last 16 from the same groupSecond round and quarter-finals
The second round featured some intriguing fixtures. Two of the ties – Argentina vs Brazil and Italy vs Uruguay . Brazilian defense and an outstanding performance from their goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea, who also rode his luck in several Brazilian goal misses. A strong second half showing from Italy saw them beat Uruguay 2–0, thanks to another goal from Schillaci and one from Aldo Serena. The West Germany-Netherlands clash produced a repeat of the Euro 88 semifinal. The match turned ugly after 22 minutes when Rudi Völler and Frank Rijkaard, in an infamous moment, were dismissed after a bizarre spitting incident. Early in the second half, Jürgen Klinsmann put the West Germans ahead and Andreas Brehme added a second with eight minutes left. A Ronald Koeman penalty for the Netherlands in the 89th minute narrowed the score to 2–1 but that was close as the Dutch would come and West Germany went through.
Meanwhile, the heroics of Cameroon and Roger Milla continued. In Cameroon's game with Colombia, Milla was introduced in the 49th minute with the score still at 0–0. The scoreline stayed that way after 90 minutes, and after the first period of extra time. Milla scored twice in four minutes in the second period of extra time. The second goal was a bit fortuitous as Colombian goalkeeper, Rene Higuita, well-known for his flamboyance and penchant to join his team's attack, was moving with his midfielders when he was dispossessed by Milla, who subsequently raced home to slot the ball into an empty net. Bernardo Redin reduced the deficit for Colombia with five minutes left, but the 'Indomitable Lions' held out to win 2–1. For the first time ever, an African team was in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
Rica were comfortably beaten 4–1 by Czechoslovakia, for whom Tomas Skuhravy scored a hat-trick. Yugoslavia beat Spain 2–1 after extra time, with Dragan Stojkovic scoring both the Yugoslavs' goals. The Republic of Ireland's match with Romania remained goalless after extra time, and the Irish side won through 5–4 on penalties. David O'Leary converted the penalty that clinched Ireland's place in the quarter-finals. England were the final qualifier against a largely dominating Belgium, but with midfielder David Platt scoring the only goal in the final minute of extra-time.
Despite Cameroon's heroics earlier in the tournament, David Platt put England ahead in the 25th minute of their quarter-final fixture. At half-time, Milla was brought on, and the game was turned on its head in the space of five second half minutes. First, Cameroon were awarded a penalty, from which Emmanuel Kunde scored the equaliser. Then, in the 65th minute, Eugene Ekeke put Cameroon ahead. The African team came within eight minutes of reaching the semi-finals, but conceded a penalty, which Gary Lineker gratefully converted. Midway through extra time, England were awarded another penalty, and Lineker again scored from the spot. England were through to the semi-finals.
Schillaci in the first half of their quarter-final with Italy. Another dull match saw West Germany beat Czechoslovakia with a 25th minute Lothar Matthäus penalty. Argentina and Yugoslavia played out a stalemate that stayed at 0–0 after extra time, despite the fact that Yugoslavia were reduced to ten men after half an hour when Refik Sabanadzovic, assigned with the task of marking Maradona, was sent off. Argentina reached the semi-finals after winning the penalty shoot-out 3–2. Tomislav Ivković achieved national fame by saving Maradona's kick and restoring parity to the penalty scoreline. Pedro Troglio then hit the post, and the World champions looked to be on their way out of the tournament until Sergio Goycochea rescued his side by stopping the Yugoslavs' final two penalty kicks.
Semi-finals, the third-place match, and the final
first semi-final featured the host nation, Italy, and the world champion, Argentina. 'Toto' Schillaci scored yet again to put Italy ahead in the 17th minute, but Claudio Caniggia equalised midway through the second half. Ricardo Giusti of Argentina was shown the red card in the 13th minute of extra time. Argentina went through on penalties, winning the shoot-out 4–3.The semi-final between West Germany and England was goalless at half-time. Then, in the 60th minute, a free kick from Andreas Brehme was deflected by Paul Parker, resulting in a goal. But then, with 10 minutes left, Gary Lineker equalised for England, forcing extra-time. In the 99th minute, England's Paul Gascoigne received his second yellow card of the competition and the English player, in perhaps the most iconic moment of the tournament, openly wept at the realization that he would not be allowed to play in the final if England were to advance. David Platt scored for England in Extra-time, but the goal was ruled out for offside and the game went to penalty kicks, where West Germany won their third straight World Cup shoot-out, 4–3. This game was to be re-enacted almost 20 years later on 26 July 2009 as the Sir Bobby Robson Trophy match, in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation[1][2][3]
Italy and England played an open attacking game for third place, with Roberto Baggio and Schillaci scoring to give the hosts a 2–1 win and the bronze medal.
The final between West Germany and Argentina., In the 65th minute, Argentina's Pedro Monzon was sent off for a foul on Klinsmann, becoming the first player ever to be sent off in a World Cup final. It has been said that Klinsmann exaggerated his reaction to the foul, causing the referee to perhaps have been more severe with the punishment. Team-mate Gustavo Dezotti received the second red card of the game with four minutes left after he hauled Jürgen Kohler to the ground during a stoppage in play. Shortly before Dezotti's departure, referee Edgardo Codesal Mendez of Mexico awarded a penalty to West Germany, from which Andreas Brehme scored the only goal of the game. In addition, Diego Maradona was seen arguing with Mendez about the dismissal of Dezotti, and on being waved away, Maradona pushed a linesman to the ground, resulting in him being shown a yellow card. The 1–0 scoreline provided another first: Argentina were the first team ever to take part in a World Cup final without scoring.
Germany became the most successful World Cup nation for four years, until Brazil won their fourth title in 1994. West German team manager Franz Beckenbauer became the second footballer, after Mário Zagallo of Brazil, to win the World Cup as a player (in 1974) and as team manager. In doing so, Beckenbauer also became the first captain of a winning team to later manage a winning squad. Italy's Salvatore Schillaci won both the Golden Boot as the tournament's top goalscorer, with six goals, and the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player.
The 1990 World Cup is widely regarded as one of the poorest World Cups ever. Most teams relied heavily on defensive play and hard tackling, as well as aggressive intimidation of the referee. In the knockout stage, many teams would "play it safe" for 120 minutes and try their luck in the penalty shoot-out, rather than risk going forward. Ireland and Argentina were prime examples of this trend of cautious defensive play; the Irish made it to the quarter-finals after scoring just twice in five games and drawing all their matches until their defeat to Italy. Argentina, meanwhile, scored only five times en route to the final. Cameroon were one of the few teams to choose an attacking style. Eventual champions West Germany also concentrated on offense-oriented play, but they too became more defensive as the tournament progressed.
