Match overview
Spain controlled long spells and twice hit the frame, yet England survived to force the tournament’s first golden-goal extra time. Still scoreless after 120 minutes, Seaman denied Hierro and Nadal in the shoot-out while Pearce, exorcising 1990 ghosts, thundered home as the hosts advanced 4-2 on penalties.
Trivia
This was Wembley’s inaugural competitive penalty shoot-out. Stuart Pearce became the first England player to score in two separate major-tournament shoot-outs, his previous effort being the infamous miss against Germany six years earlier.
