Match overview
Rats finished a swift counter to edge a close contest in which Dasayev’s reflexes denied Koeman twice. Michels gambled on van Basten from the bench, but the striker’s rustiness showed in two late misses.
Trivia
It was the USSR’s sixth straight clean sheet in European Championship play; they conceded only once before the final.
