Match overview
Mexico shocked Germany when Luis Hernández slid home just after the break, but the European champions rallied. Veteran striker Jürgen Klinsmann equalised with a typical poacher’s finish before substitute Oliver Bierhoff powered in the winner. Germany’s late burst preserved their record of always reaching at least the quarter-finals at a World Cup.
Trivia
Lothar Matthäus collected his 126th cap, equalling Franz Beckenbauer’s appearance record for a German out-field player at the time.
