Match overview
Dennis Bergkamp’s exquisite opener was cancelled out by Komljenović’s header, but Edgar Davids drove in a dramatic stoppage-time winner from distance to send the Dutch through. Yugoslavia paid for missing a late penalty from Mijatović and saw their spirited display end in heartbreak.
Trivia
Davids’ goal came with the midfielder wearing specially designed goggles to combat glaucoma, a striking image that became one of France 98’s defining photographs.
