Argentina vs Yugoslavia - Italia 90 🇮🇹 This quarter-final in Florence remains one of the most tense encounters of Italia '90, defined by the physical toll of 120 minutes in the Tuscan heat and the psychological battle between two iconic number 10s. While Argentina entered as defending champions, Yugoslavia’s "Golden Generation" controlled much of the tempo, even after Refik Šabanadžović was sent off in the 31st minute for a second yellow card—both remarkably picked up for fouls on Diego Maradona.
The narrative of the match shifted entirely to the penalty spot, where a specific history repeated itself. Just months prior in the UEFA Cup, Sporting CP goalkeeper Tomislav Ivković had bet Maradona $100 that he would save his penalty during a shootout against Napoli; Ivković won the bet. In Florence, Ivković denied Maradona again, momentarily putting Argentina on the brink of elimination.
However, the afternoon ultimately belonged to Sergio Goycochea. Entering the tournament only after Nery Pumpido’s leg break against the USSR, Goycochea cemented his legend by saving the final two Yugoslavian penalties from Brnović and Hadžibegić.
