Top in three categories this fantastic goal, with the last touch in the game, put Holland through to the semi-finals. Bergkamp's immaculate control of Frank de Boer's 50 yard pass is a supreme piece of skill and he followed this up by beating Ayala and volleying with his right into the far corner. Argentina had only conceded four goals in their previous 10 games. (Bergkamp also set a Dutch goalscoring record with the goal scoring his 36th for Holland).
