#5 England vs Italy, 1990 World Cup, Italy
Italy and England faced each other at Comunale, Bari on 7th July 1990 in a game attended by 51426 people, thanks to the host nation playing. The game swung into life in the 71st minute, owing to a rare error by the oldest player of the tournament, England’s goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who gifted Italy’s Roberto Baggio an easy opportunity to score. David Platt headed home the equalizer for England 10 minutes later, but just a couple of minutes later, Salvatore Schillaci was brought down in the penalty area, with the referee awarding Italy with a penalty. Schillaci got up, dusted himself and scored his 6th goal of the tournament, helping him win the Golden Boot as well as the Golden Ball.
With Italy going on to win the game 2-1, England’s only consolation was the FIFA Fair Play Award. Peter Shilton retired from International Football after the tournament.
