The Story of Football from a village game to the world cup

Italy v Holland



One of the best games of the 1978 was the second phase Group 1 game between Italy and Holland. Holland - without their star player Johann Cruyff for the tournament - still played wonderful football.

In this game they go behind - but score a great equaliser and an even better winner from Arie Haan.
