A wonderful goal by England midfielder Wilkins was regarded as the best goal of England in the whole 1980s for a long time. Subsequently, the Belgian team pressed hard and quickly equalized the score. The goal was scored by 23-year-old striker Thurmans, and Thurmans gradually became a symbol of the European Red Devils generation of the Belgian team from this goal.

In the case of falling behind by two goals, Figo, joao pinto and nuno gomes finished the reversal with three goals.
