Foxboro Stadium, Boston, USA

Shockingly down 1-0 with minutes left in the match, Italy were facing a surprise elimination at the hands of Nigeria however step up Roby Baggio. The Divine Ponytail did what only he could do in the famous Azzurri kit. One of the greatest players of his generation, Baggio took the game into his hands with a goal in the 88th minute and the winner in extra time, making sure the Azzurri had every chance to continue on their eventual path which would lead them the final. Baggio's performances in the 94 World Cup were iconic as he took Italy on his back with some superb form which made him an instant hero.
