Match overview
Lightning strikes from Rijkaard and Witschge inside 15 minutes stunned the reigning champions. Although Klinsmann’s header gave Germany hope, Bergkamp sealed a richly-deserved Dutch victory that, coupled with Scotland’s win, still allowed Germany to progress.
Trivia
Van Basten’s spectacular overhead kick against the bar is still replayed despite not counting. Gullit wore the armband for only the second time in a competitive fixture.
