Classic goals in World Cup history

Johan Cruyff's majestic skills proved decisive in an unusual second round group match between the Netherlands and Brazil on July 4, 1974. With his side leading 1-0 he ran from midfield to connect with Johan Neeskens' cross and volleyed home a superb clinching goal, earning the Dutch side top spot in their group and a place in the final against West Germany.
