Match overview
West Germany defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in a heated round of 16 encounter in Milan. Klinsmann and Brehme scored for the Germans, while Koeman converted a late penalty for the Dutch. The match was marred by the infamous spitting incident between Rijkaard and Völler, resulting in both players being dismissed.
Trivia
This match is remembered for the notorious double red card incident when Frank Rijkaard spat on Rudi Völler, leading to both players being dismissed in the 22nd minute. West Germany advanced to eventually win the tournament, while the Netherlands exited despite high pre-tournament expectations as European champions.
