There have been many great goals in the European Championships. But here
are ten of the best.
| Number
10: Davor Suker |
| When?
Croatia v Denmark. Euro '96 First Round. |
| How?
Davor Suker completed his hat-trick with the last kick of the match
in this 3-0 win for Croatia by majestically lobbing the world's best
keeper, Peter Schmeichel. |
| Why so Good?
It was a sublime goal from a man in form, in his nation's first ever
European Championships. The crowds loved it! |
| Number
9: Drazen Dzagic |
| When?
Yugoslavia v England. Euro '68 Semi-Final. |
| How?
With the scores level in the final seconds of the semi-final, Yugoslavia's
brillian winger Dzagic popped up to score a dramatic winner driving
home past Gordon Banks to knock England out. |
| Why so Good?
A shock win against the favourites, which stunned a country still
wallowing in its World Cup glory. |
| Number
8: Ray Wilkins |
| When?
England v Belgium. Euro' 80 First Round. |
| How?
Ray Wilkins intercepted a Belgian clearance out of defence, then lobbed
the ball over the defence as they pushed forward, then ran through
the advancing players to receive his own pass and fired the ball past
the keeper. |
| Why so Good?
It was a great goal and about as good as England got in that tournament.
|
| Number
7: Domenghini |
| When?
Italy v Yugoslavia. Euro' 68 Final. |
| How?
While German referee Dienst was pushing back the Yugoslave defensive
wall, Domenghini quickly took the free-kick and scored. The 81st minute
goal sent the Final to a replay which Italy won. |
| Why so Good?
It was so important for Italy after they had been knocked out of the
1966 World Cup by North Korea. |
| Number
6: Antonin Panenka |
| When?
Czechoslovakia v West Germany, Euro 76 Final. |
| How?
A penalty shoot-out. After West Germany's Hoeness shot over, up stepped
Panenka with the score at 4-3. Panenka softly clipped the ball over
the diving Maier and Czechoslovakia had won the Championships. |
| Why so Good?
It was the first penalty shoot-out to decide a majore trophy and it
was a cheeky finish. |
