Match overview
In a tempestuous clash, Dennis Bergkamp’s iconic late strike-controlling a 60-yard pass, beating Ayala and volleying in-won the match after both sides had seen red.
Trivia
This was the first World Cup knockout match with two red cards since 1986. Bergkamp’s goal later ranked among the greatest in tournament history.
