Transcript

00:00At the 1990 FIFA World Cup, in the quarter-finals, the host nation, Italy, meeting the Republic of Ireland.

00:08A crowd of over 73,000 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

00:15And it's the Azuri in the blue shirt, so get the game underway, attacking the goal away to our left in the first half.

00:24Scalacci, they performed well in their first major tournament, the European Championships, two years ago.

00:39And there has been even more progress in their first FIFA World Cup.

00:44As the free kick is watched wide by Bonner, it was struck well by Ferri.

00:51The Italians, but many of the other teams that Italy have faced in this FIFA World Cup.

01:02And that is meant as a compliment.

01:05The corner kick is deep and the header was won, but gathered by Zenger.

01:09High cross in, looking for Quinn!

01:22And it's a good save by Zenger.

01:24And that is the Irish game plan, in a nutshell.

01:30McGrath, lofting in the cross.

01:33Quinn, with a powerful header, but Zenger, well placed to make the save.

01:38And Niall Quinn will be a real asset for the Republic of Ireland with the right sort of service.

01:49And he was head and shoulders above Ferri there.

01:53The Agostini and the flick header at the other end from Scalacci.

01:58Who is more of a fox in the box.

02:00Scalacci strikes it into the wall.

02:07Scalacci again, clipped over the top.

02:11And Houghton will concede the corner kick.

02:13The cross in, and the header over the top from Maldini.

02:31And the youngster from Milan.

02:36Picked out by a good ball in from Baggio.

02:39Aldridge losing out.

02:41Baggio.

02:43Away from Townsend.

02:45Scalacci.

02:48Giannini.

02:50And the shot fired in by Donadoni.

02:52Parried by Bodder.

02:53And scored by Scalacci.

03:00And there is a gleam in those Sicilian eyes once again.

03:07Salvatore Scalacci.

03:10Brings delight to the Stadio Olimpico.

03:13And the Italians lead eight minutes before half time.

03:23Donadoni shot.

03:24Bonner could only palm it out.

03:25And Scalacci alive to the possibility.

03:35Producing a very calm finish in the circumstances from the angle.

03:47And Italy, a team yet to concede in this FIFA World Cup.

03:51lead once again.

03:53Lead once again.

03:57Power from Donadoni, which may be surprised Bonner.

04:00And he was then out of the game, which allowed Scalacci to roll the ball into an empty net.

04:06And the Republic of Ireland, the player who came into the tournament without a huge amount of fanfare.

04:19But everybody knows about him now.

04:26Townsend.

04:28He's lost out.

04:29And the shot improvised there from Di Napoli, but always drifting wide of goal.

04:41Baggio.

04:41The Agostini in support.

04:47And the shot on the turn is over the top from Scalacci.

04:51And Italy again, looking to get that second goal, which would surely take the game away from the Republic of Ireland.

05:12And already, since that goal, they're beginning to find more space in behind.

05:18Scalacci leaning back.

05:21Walter Zenger just telling his team to calm down.

05:37And the referee has blown the half-time whistle.

05:40Salvatore Scalacci once again.

05:43Italy leading 1-0.

05:52The Republic of Ireland in the white shirts.

05:55Get the second half underway.

05:57And the Irish will be looking to close this down.

06:03Shot from Scalacci off the crossbar.

06:06And it's still shaking.

06:08And then the rebound over the top.

06:12Well, that could have settled it.

06:19Scalacci.

06:21So close to his fifth goal in this FIFA World Cup.

06:24Really caught hold of that.

06:28Bonner was absolutely nowhere.

06:31And we'll see shortly just how close that was.

06:36As Quinn comes off and Cascarino comes on.

06:39They've made a habit during this tournament of staying in games.

06:45And then coming up with something to get them through.

06:50And they need to produce that quality here.

06:53McGrath.

06:55Always swinging away from goal.

06:57Ancelotti of Milan.

07:02Ancelotti will take that role of continuity player in midfield.

07:21And they will hope some meaningful pressure is building here.

07:31Zenger coming a long way to punch.

07:33Staunton.

07:38Now Morris.

07:41High into the penalty area.

07:43Flicked on towards Aldridge.

07:44Houghton's in there.

07:45Aldridge is in there.

07:46He goes down.

07:47And the flag is up for offside.

07:56Well, Italian hearts would have been in mouths there.

08:03Well, I'm not sure that Aldridge was offside when the ball was played through to him.

08:08But the flag was raised.

08:12Baggio has given the home fans a spectacular moment already.

08:16In this FIFA World Cup.

08:18But not this evening.

08:25Now Ancelotti.

08:31Di Napoli.

08:34Donadoni.

08:40And Serena has been caught.

08:44Challenged by McCarthy.

08:45It will be a free kick.

08:47And Italy at the moment.

08:49Are just happy to keep the Irish at arm's length.

08:54But here is Serena.

08:56And he had the chance to finish it there.

08:59And that's the ability of Aldo Serena.

09:01Arriving from late.

09:06Such a clever ball forward from Donadoni.

09:08And Serena in behind.

09:09And Serena in behind.

09:12Directed on target.

09:13John Aldridge.

09:14Replaced by John Sheridan.

09:16Sheridan will...

09:17Be more of a...

09:21And it will be a throw-in.

09:29And it will be a throw-in.

09:32Taken quickly by Houghton.

09:34Morris.

09:35Houghton again.

09:38Sheridan in support on the edge of the area.

09:41Morris swings it high.

09:43Cascarino.

09:44And it's over the top.

09:47But Azee concedes the corner.

09:48At the moment.

09:55Scalacci is the difference.

09:59He's over the free kick once again.

10:05But it's Donadoni.

10:07And it's off target.

10:10Losing out.

10:12And the Italians can counter-attack here.

10:15Scalacci away down the centre.

10:17He can finish it.

10:19But the flag is up.

10:26And Scalacci denied.

10:32Well, Vincini can't believe it.

10:37Into injury time.

10:44And the Republic of Ireland have a free kick.

10:47Being waved away by the referee.

10:49Surely the final chance here for the Republic of Ireland.

10:59It's played square.

11:01And it's a complete miss kick.

11:05Sheridan.

11:07But.

11:08They may get another opportunity here.

11:11Both benches are up.

11:24Take two.

11:28Lofted in this time.

11:29High to the far post.

11:32Nodded down.

11:33But then cleared.

11:34And it's all over.

11:41Italy, the host nation.

11:43Are into the semi-finals.

11:48They can finally celebrate.

11:50Jack Charlton.

11:52And his Republic of Ireland team.

11:55See their famous run.

11:56Finally come to an end.

11:57Salvatore Scalacci with the winning goal.

12:00Salvatore Scalacci with the winning goal.
