Match overview
Larsen’s double and Schmeichel’s heroics carried the Danish fairytale into a penalty shoot-out, where Van Basten’s miss allowed Christofte to clinch a 5-4 win after a gripping 2-2 draw. Holders Netherlands were dethroned; Denmark marched on to an improbable final.
Trivia
Henrik Larsen’s brace equalled a Danish tournament record. The shoot-out remains the only time Marco van Basten ever failed from the spot for club or country.
