Match overview
Italy overcame a determined United States side in Rome, with substitute Salvatore Schillaci scoring the only goal. The hosts controlled possession but found it difficult to break down the American defence until Schillaci’s late strike.
Trivia
Schillaci’s goal was the first of his Golden Boot-winning campaign. The USA, making their first World Cup appearance since 1950, earned respect for their organisation and work rate.
