Spain was a constant nightmare to Denmark at that time. 1984, 1986, 1988. Three straight tournaments Spain beated Denmark. And 1994 and 1996 qualifying matches too.
@@dmt1967 The Spain of Butragueño had the best Team after Argentina and Germany in 1986, in my opinion, Spain was underrated in 1986. Y hate Belgium Lucky in penals, because i wanted to see semifinal Argentina-Spain what a great match we lose...
I remember watching this game at my father's house, whose 2nd wife is of Danish origin. Her whole family was there. I was the only one of Spanish origin supporting Spain, in the middle of some 20 Vikings. LOL. Obviously my father was beside them. I was sure that Spain would be slaughtered. But I was astonished for each goal from Butragueño, until the final massacre. La Furia had given my soul great redemption. It was beautiful. And in the end, I drank a lot with the Danes, very friendly, who took everything in a very good mood. Unforgettable day.
@@ghostridertom That's true. But football is like that. The same Denmark was lucky to inherit the banned Yugoslavia's place in Euro92. Then they were competent to win the title.
I know Germany beat Brazil 7-1 last year but for me this remains the most astonishing collapse in World Cup history...because while Brazil 2014 was an average side fortunate to reach the semi-final, this Denmark side was truly brilliant and many (including myself) expected them to win the trophy in 86, especially after their first-round performances.
+hugodrax71 Yep; look at the Denmark v Germany game. Denmark's world cup ended when their controlling influence, Frank Arnesen, was sent off needlessly after a cynical clash and response from Lothar Matteus. Also, remember this was the knock-out stages and having given 2 poor goals away, probably through naivety, at 3-1 they were chasing the game and committing men forward in the last 15 minutes. Spain countered them and picked them off. I would hazard that after the group stages, and with that Spanish side continually flattering to deceive, over-confidence may also have contributed.
+hugodrax71 Simple explanation: That's football. Denmark did not use their chances and/or Spain was lucky - whichever way you want to put it. On the other hand Spain needed 4 or 5 opportunities to score the first 3 goals. That's just happening sometimes ... WC winners usually need a good share of luck except for outstanding class sides like Brazil 1970.
+Jee Jay A cynical clash from Matthäus is me unknown. Maybe you can give the information. The games between Denmark and Germany were in angry mood to this time.
+hugodrax71Agree that the Danish played by far the most exiting play. So what could happen? This happened: The spanish trainer answered to the press which team he would prefer:" Better the danish than the german." How could he say this? The danish showed before their excellent play in the midfield what was the starting point of their brillant attacks. The spanish trainer had a plan against this. His players destroyed the superb danish by a superieur legwork, destroying any plan of the danish. They were immediatly attacked, if they got the ball. They were unable to construct their play which was so feared by the other teams. Losing their plan the danish got complete irritated. After them they were an easy prey.
+hugodrax71 I didn't exactly think they were favorites to win the cup, but yes, I was surprised at this outcome and always thought Arnesen was missed more than expected. Probably they lacked experience as well. They played marvelous football, started to believe in all the hype around them and forgot games at this stage were won the hard way. I'd say they died in their beauty. But this Danmark team will always be one of my favorites to watch and remember.
Denmark under estimated Spain, they just believed they could beat anyone after their three victories in the first round (beating two classic worldchampions and a good Scottish team), this Denmark in this match reminds me of Germany in 2018, an ultra offensive team that forgot to defend.
Still remember trying to avoid hearing the result all day at work as I had it taped to watch at home. Was a massive fan of this Danish team. Right near the end of the day this guy says to me "I just heard that Denmark beat Spain 5-1!" and I said something like "Oh my God, what? Fantastic!" and he goes "Yeah some guy called the vulture scored 4 goals"..........
if i had been trying this hard not to learn the result before getting home, i'd have assumed that this guy was lying. only to later find out what really transpired.....
The Spanish chain saw massacre ;-) 35 years gone and I still don't know, what the hell happened to Danes. The commentators forgot about just one footballer who scored four goals in one match in the WC final tournament. It was Ernest Wilimowski from Poland who scored four goals against Brazil in the first round match in 1938.
Despite this defeat, Denmark's philosophy is admirable. It was their first Mundial and they gave full speed. Here they ran out of steam. Players have said afterwards that they were satisfied with getting to the second round and had homesickness after six points (of six possible) in the group play. Football has fast turns, Spain was eliminated already in the very next round against Belgium. The tickets sold for this match in Queretaro were given superior to Spanish supporters. It was noticeable on the passion of the stand.
There would not have been many Spanish fans at that match who had travelled from Spain, but most of their support came from Mexicans, who would traditionally support Spain, as they are a Spanish speaking country. The same thing occured at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, where Spain enjoyed huge support at every game, but almost all of the support came from local Argentinians!
@@olegbeaviz It must be a certain part of the Latin American population that went to the match because many Latin Americans perceive the Spanish state as snobbish and von-oben. Then the history of conquistadors.
You need to be solid and organized in defense as well to win the world cup. Being entertaining is a bonus. There were many entertaining team in that world cup. Argentina won and people praised Maradona, but they had a very solid team.
En este mundial ni el más optimista había pensado que Dinamarca perdiera el partido, pero España con jugadores rápidos, aunque de menor fortaleza y estatura, pero muy rápidos, sacó la casta y los doblegó !! Saludos !!
I remember that danish team destroyed a few days before Uruguay and Germany so seems to be the favorite team to win the match at the end Spain played our best match from the eighties maybe this one and the win over germany at euro 84 and in the nineties the victory over Yugoslavia 4-3 amazing Butragueño!!
If somebody predicted 5-1 before the game it would have been to Denmark because they were devouring every opposition before that. Spain seem to be their bogey team as in the qualifier for the 1994 World cup
I remember this as being a complete shock. I dont think Spain were the superior team but the Danes just seemed to implode here. Denmark had ripped apart the group of death with a brand of dynamic football that even the Brazilians couldn't match. Given their performances in Euro 84 and in the group stages of this compo I would say Denmark were dark horses to win the world cup. Sadly one of my favourite sides of all time were on a downer after this as age got the better of many of their finest players like Busk, Bergreen, Bertelsen, Elkjaer, Lerby & Olsen. The team of 1992 that actually won the Euros was vastly inferior!
Yes. We were all in shock. On paper Spain were the favorites but Danmark was the surprise team of this world cup. They played really good football and defeated the Germans in the group stage. We were all thinking Denmark were going to beat the Spain and then such a high win for Spain. I think this might've been the best team Denmark ever had. I certainly hoped they would've gone higher.
@@superlex611 you're right. They did everything required of them and outplayed all their opponents. I guess they just weren't my team and I'm still not fully over their victory.
Always surprised that this good Denmark team laid such an egg in this game...they were playing well and had beaten Germany 2-0 in the group stage. One of the weirdest collapses during a tournament in World Cup history.
Exactly! I never got this. But no champion ever played on a fantastic level throughout a whole tournament. The successful teams somehow manage to give their best achievements in the decisive matches.
They were very much in the game, and were arguably even the better team, until 2-1. They kept pouring forward, even as the Butragueno kept tapping in the goals - it's the only way they knew how to play. A gorgeous team.
Looking at this footage it seems to me Danmark didn't really have a gameplan, let alone plan B. They were an excellent crew, capable of great things, but weren't as nearly as organized as they should have been. As if they started to believe they were untouchable and forgot it was down to hard work and concentration. Their defending was poor, their finishing let them down and they ran out of steam. Nonetheless I still remember them fondly, same as USSR and England. Overall the football was great.
They were very naive. They had a group of top-quality creative and offence-oriented players but sb forgot to inform them that they had to pay attention to their rear as well, especially against a striker as fast as Butragueno, who could absolutely 'kill' you on the counter-attack. Two of the goals the Spanish scored were 'gifts' of the Danish defence; extremely silly and childish mistakes.
This match kicked off about 11pm Uk time, which was too late for me as I had school the next day! But I wanted Denmark to win. I wonder if Frank Arnesen had played, would the result have been different, because he was outstanding in the group matches!
This has always happened to Denmark, even by today´s standards. Denmark is far better when in the role of the minnow, illusions of grandeur has often led to some catastrophic results for the Danish national side, especially when playing much inferior opposition. The Danes thought they could walk on water in this match, against a side that definitely were excellent on paper that proved disastrous.
I had heard that Spain had already sent its luggage to the airport, because they even thought that they d lose against Denmark. However after this game, luggage had to be back. Shocking game indeed.
I think the Danish team with the Russian and French team are the best championship teams. And if the tournament went as expected, we would have seen a soccer ball in the last eight between Denmark and Russia. Overall, it was the great Maradona tournament.
Dinamarca traia un equipazo con su lider preven Elkjaer jugadorazo entre otros como Laudrup, aunque creo que equivocaron la estrategia quiza subestimando a la furia roja, algo paso a partir del error que les costo el 1er gol, ademas hubo errores garrafales arbitrales que tambien les costaron goles como el tercero o cuarto que fue un gol claramente en fuera de lugar amen de un penalty inexistente.....un mundial plagado de trampas como la que anulo un gol legitimo a Mexico vs Alemania lo cual le costaria ser eliminado en nuestra propia casa, recordemos aquel famoso gol de la "mano de Dios " con maradona vs Inglaterra....en fin una historia mas del futbol.
@@luipierre7283 el 4 gol de España si es fuera de juego... pero los 3 penaltis pitados son penaltis. A Dinamarca le pasó que creía que España iba a ser un paseo como con Uruguay, y ya se sabe que el futbol a veces da sorpresas, y grandes.
@@luipierre7283 El gol de dinamarca viene de un penalty inexistente...no solo el danes se tira sino que ademas salta a la piscina desde fuera del area.
@@loqueyotediga1968 ¿Como va a ser fuera de juego si el pasador está delante de butragueño? Me parece que no entiendes la regla de fuera de juego...da igual si el rematador está por delante del último defensor si el pasador y el balón están delante del rematador. Es gol es legal. E lprimer penalty de dinamarca es un piscinazo como una casa..se tira desde fuera del area por encima de las piernas del defensor.
Looking at this video, I have the feeling that after the draw the Danish team became emotionally unbalanced, something that got worse after the goal of the turnaround on the scoreboard. The excessive individualism of Elkjaer also contributes a little, there are strikes of eminent goal where the assistance would be better than the direct kick. They could have taken a different direction for the game.
Lembro desse jogo como se fosse hoje. Baseado nos resultados da primeira fase, era evidente que a Dinamáquina ia dar um passeio. Já tinha marcado na minha cartelinha, que tinha o logo do torneio, que a Dinamarca seria campeã.
Me lembro tambem,e eu tinha 10 anos,que Copa espetacular foi a de 86!!! A Dinamaquina e a Uniao Sovietica jogaram muito na primeira fase!Tinha a revista Placar com uma materia da Dinamarca com o titulo "A despedida dos magicos." Coisas do futebol...
De los partidos más injustos de ese mundial, Dinamarca jugaba por nota,era muy superior hasta antes del error del primer gol,nunca se recuperó la defensiva y termino siendo su peor partido, muchos errores atrás, aún así tuvieron llegadas que no concluyeron,ese Dinamarca era para finalista,eljaer,soren lerbi, Laudrup,olsen dejaron un gran sabor de boca, sólo para conocedores del buen fútbol
Coincido parcialmente. Porque es cierto que el inexplicable error de Jesper Olsen (tal vez le deslumbró el sol o tal vez no vio a Butragueño) al borde del descanso fue un mazazo. Pero un equipo que es la revelación y aspira a llegar lejos NO puede hundirse ante la primera adversidad. Y se hundieron, evidenciando así una notable fragilidad mental y eso que iban empatados, pero es que aun cuando hubiesen ido perdiendo. Dinamarca tenía un equipazo pero psicólogamente inconsistente. Mientras le fue todo bien en la fase de grupos no tuvo problema. Pero cuando hubo de afrontar la primera adversidad se diluyó de modo decepcionante (por suerte para nosotros claro) . El calor tb les pasó factura. Y que Butragueño te remate de cabeza un córner en el área pequeña es para hacérselo mirar
Petite remarque"zubizareta FCB et Casillas REA Madrid les seuls gardiens qui ont fait long feu en équipe d'Espagne avec 4 participations chacun en coupe du monde ! bien-sûr le dernier mondial de zubizareta "C M 98 il était gardien du FC Valence
uma tragédia, Dinamarca era o melhor time da copa de 1986 e o único que poderia vencer a Argentina, é de partir o coração ver uma equipe como essa ser derrotada dessa forma
I watched this match, before that Danish decimated Uruguay and told "we are red, we are white, we are danish dynamite", in this match they started pretty well and then surrendered completely to spain
Of course the decisive moment was the M.Olsen's mistake. But it was still 1-1. Elkjaer had good chances to score. And then again M. Olsen's mistake on Butragueno. Probably he was too devastated after his first mistake.
When Spain went 2-1 up that's when Denmark lost their heads and started chasing the game . Spain simply hit them on wave after wave of counter attacks , and the Danes wilted in the searing heat (many of the Danish team were well into their thirties ). That said , the Danish team between roughly 83-86 was fantastic , and much like the Brazil team of 81-82 , they won nothing but really caught the imagination of fans over the world .
USSR and Denmark both were the best teams of the 86 World Cup but unfortunately they lost too much energy during the group stage.It would have been a great quarter final USSR vs Denmark!
انا عربي من السعوديه ولكن والله كنت اذكر هذه المباراة جيدا وكانت صدمه للجميع خسارة الدنمارك بهذه النتيجه لان الدنمارك فازت على المانيا والاورغواي واسكتلندا في نفس البطوله
I thought Denmark and USSR were the two outstanding teams of this tournament. Unfortunately both lost to lesser teams. USSR lost to Belgium. This result was such a freak. Denmark dominated play and were leading 1-0. Then everything collapsed after letting in a stupid goal.
How did this game turn to 1-5? It is unbeliavable, Denmark was way better than Spain in that tournament, so sad for Elkjaer, one of the greatest forwards for all times to me.
Interesting, the 80s Spain was kinda the Barca - Madrid formation in 2010, and they say Spain had no golden generation before 2010. Even in the 60s Spain had great players (Di Stefano).
Di Stefano is not Spaniard (neither is Puskas or Kubala). However, they really had great players - all the the European Club Cups at that time + their first Euro title is from 1964.

Emilio Butragueno's four goals in one game took him to joint-top of the leading scorers' list with Gary Lineker,who had added two goals against Paraguay the day before this match to his hat-trick against Poland. 5 goals each: Lineker (England and Butragueno (Spain) 4 goals each: Altobelli (Italy),Elkjaer (Denmark),Belanov (USSR) and Careca (Brazil) 3 goals each: Valdano (Argentina) and Jesper Olsen (Denmark) 2 goals each: Quirarte (Mexico),Scifo (Belgium),Claesen (Belgium),Yaremchuk (USSR),Cabanas (Paraguay),Romero (Paraguay),Stopyra (France),Socrates (Brazil),Josimar (Brazil),Caldere (Spain),Alloffs (West Germany) and Khairi (Morocco)
La FIFA fue muy muy injusta con España en su pelicula oficial de aquel año. Apenas se habló de aquel equipo español en la pelicula, mientras que a la derrumbada Dinamarca se le dieron muchos más minutos. España era el único equipo que podría haber parado a la Argentina del magno Diego Armando Maradona. Hubiese sido un gran partido ese pero el destino quiso que en semifinales España perdiese ante Bélgica en la tanda de penaltis. Al final Argentina ganó aquel mundial con un grandísimo Maradona en sus filas...
No solo fué injusta, sino claramente insidiosa. Básicamente menciona en medio minuto como Butragueño eliminó a Dinamarca "pero luego se hizo justicia" cuando fueron eliminados por Bélgica...
BlackCrowNavajo... porque Goicoexea tenía mas experiencia y se quería asegurar el partido. Luego, el segundo penalti si lo tira Butragueño porque el resultado ya era muy amplio, además, que al lograr el gol Butragueño se ponía como máximo goleador del campeonato con 5 goles, por eso lo tiró... y marcó.

Back when penalties were real penalties and when plays fell into the ground their legs had genuinely been taken out. Having said that, I cannot believe why the Spaniards were complaining about the Danish penalty. It was clearly a foul in the box!
Ilusionó para campeón mundial, éste equipo de Dinamarca de 1986, se le comparaba a la sorprendente ''NARANJA MECÁNICA'' DE HOLANDA DE 1974 y 1978, tenía esta Dinamarca un fútbol casi total, como esa NARANJA MECÁNICA de HOLANDA del 74 y 78, yo soy nacido en Santa Marta, Colombia, y me gusta el fútbol exquisito y sincronizado que practicaron estos equipos europeos, fue frustante para mí, y obviamente para muchos que Dinamarca quedara eliminada y con semejante goleada contra España, en ese partido fue clave de la derrota de Dinamarca la ausencia de Nielsen, gran estrella habilidoso, que fue también clave contra Uruguay pero por acumulación de tarjetas amarillas no pudo estar en este partido, y creo que Michael Laudrup tampoco estuvo en ese partido, así que también eso influyó, y para nada España pasó a la siguiente fase porque fue eliminada, su papel destacado fue haber eliminado a una selección Danesa considerada favorita por su maravilloso fútbol, y HABERNOS FRUSTADO LOS AMANTES DEL BUEN FÚTBOL Y ESPECTÁCULO , DE VER MÁS ALLÁ DE LOS CUARTOS DE FINAL A ESTE EQUIPAZO DE DINAMARCA, parecería que lo que pasó contra España fuera un accidente, que lamentable, y que triste estuve yo ese día que perdieron esta selección Danesa.
Así es. La goleada de España fue un accidente, no un reflejo de la realidad de ambas selecciones. Cuanto dolió esa derrota de Dinamarca a los amantes del buen futbol. Hasta el día de hoy me sigo preguntando que les pasó a los daneses ese día. Aunque a favor de los españoles está que dos años antes, en la Eurocopa de 1984, España había derrotado en semifinales a Dinamarca vía penales. Y ese día del partido del mundial, España ejerció mucha presión y no dejaban de correr los españoles, así llego el primer gol de Butragueño. Una aclaración: Michael Laudrup sí jugó ese partido.
La goleada de España fue un accidente para los que sobrevaloraron a Dinamarca, un equipo que se vio que no defendía demasiado bien. Por cierto, el primer penalty para los daneses, inexistente.
Tremendo fiasco se llevó Dinamarca el mejor equipo de la 1ra ronda de esa copa mundo, empezó bien y ganando y terminó goleado, increíble. Imagen los cuartos de final Dinamarca vs la Urss ufffff hubiese sido tremendo partido.

It could have gone all the way back to Spain before they could get it back,in that case 😂.
Why is there a McDonald's flag in the celebration of Spain's 3rd goal? LOL
Because of yellow and red colors
because hamburgesas are buenas !!!!
because ketchup and mustard are the colors of Spain
Because “They´re lovin´it“
Denmark was the best team in the cup until this macht. It nickname was Dinamachine. Saludos from Brasil! 🇧🇷
One of the weirdest results in WC. Still don't know how it could happen.
Beacuse Spain was simply a better team.
pure luck !
@@user-nd2ij9oh1t Oh yes. Try again.
Lack of Frank Arnesen? Too much self-confidence after beating West Germany and winning the group? Spaniards deadly efficiency? Yep.
Denmark and USSR both had very good teams but when it really mattered some of their passing and defensive errors cost both of them in this World Cup.
I remember that USSR had been gotten robbed against Belgium.
I think the Danish team with the Russian and French team are the best championship teams.
And if the tournament went as expected, we would have seen a soccer ball in the last eight between Denmark and Russia.
Overall, it was the great Maradona tournament.
4:27 That straight-arm to the face might have been a send-off nowadays!
I thought the same. It seemed to be normal at that time
Recuerdo que Dinamarca venía de golear a Uruguay. Parecía un equipo temible. Pero con España recibió una goleada. Buirragueño fue el matador.
Dinamarca traia un equipazo con su lider preven Elkjaer jugadorazo entre otros como Laudrup, aunque creo que equivocaron la estrategia quiza subestimando a la furia roja, algo paso a partir del error que les costo el 1er gol, ademas hubo errores garrafales arbitrales que tambien les costaron goles como el tercero o cuarto que fue un gol claramente en fuera de lugar amen de un penalty inexistente.....un mundial plagado de trampas como la que anulo un gol legitimo a Mexico vs Alemania lo cual le costaria ser eliminado en nuestra propia casa, recordemos aquel famoso gol de la "mano de Dios " con maradona vs Inglaterra....en fin una historia mas del futbol.
@@luipierre7283 el 4 gol de España si es fuera de juego... pero los 3 penaltis pitados son penaltis. A Dinamarca le pasó que creía que España iba a ser un paseo como con Uruguay, y ya se sabe que el futbol a veces da sorpresas, y grandes.
@@luipierre7283 El gol de dinamarca viene de un penalty inexistente...no solo el danes se tira sino que ademas salta a la piscina desde fuera del area.
@@loqueyotediga1968 ¿Como va a ser fuera de juego si el pasador está delante de butragueño? Me parece que no entiendes la regla de fuera de juego...da igual si el rematador está por delante del último defensor si el pasador y el balón están delante del rematador. Es gol es legal. E lprimer penalty de dinamarca es un piscinazo como una casa..se tira desde fuera del area por encima de las piernas del defensor.
@@danielfernandez4544 Cierto... llevas razón 👍
in 86 fifa world cup Mexico
goalkeeper of Spain Andoni Zubizarreta.. striker emilio Butragueno
striker of Denmark preben elkjaer
Looking at this video, I have the feeling that after the draw the Danish team became emotionally unbalanced, something that got worse after the goal of the turnaround on the scoreboard. The excessive individualism of Elkjaer also contributes a little, there are strikes of eminent goal where the assistance would be better than the direct kick. They could have taken a different direction for the game.
Incredible support for us from the Mexicans in this game... I hope Spain get to play matches in Mexico again in 2026 (If we qualify) World Cup 😁
Dinamarca no se recuperó de ese primer gol y llegaron rápido los otros
Lembro desse jogo como se fosse hoje. Baseado nos resultados da primeira fase, era evidente que a Dinamáquina ia dar um passeio. Já tinha marcado na minha cartelinha, que tinha o logo do torneio, que a Dinamarca seria campeã.
Me lembro tambem,e eu tinha 10 anos,que Copa espetacular foi a de 86!!!
A Dinamaquina e a Uniao Sovietica jogaram muito na primeira fase!Tinha a revista Placar com uma materia da Dinamarca com o titulo "A despedida dos magicos."
Coisas do futebol...
De los partidos más injustos de ese mundial, Dinamarca jugaba por nota,era muy superior hasta antes del error del primer gol,nunca se recuperó la defensiva y termino siendo su peor partido, muchos errores atrás, aún así tuvieron llegadas que no concluyeron,ese Dinamarca era para finalista,eljaer,soren lerbi, Laudrup,olsen dejaron un gran sabor de boca, sólo para conocedores del buen fútbol
Coincido parcialmente. Porque es cierto que el inexplicable error de Jesper Olsen (tal vez le deslumbró el sol o tal vez no vio a Butragueño) al borde del descanso fue un mazazo.
Pero un equipo que es la revelación y aspira a llegar lejos NO puede hundirse ante la primera adversidad. Y se hundieron, evidenciando así una notable fragilidad mental y eso que iban empatados, pero es que aun cuando hubiesen ido perdiendo.
Dinamarca tenía un equipazo pero psicólogamente inconsistente. Mientras le fue todo bien en la fase de grupos no tuvo problema. Pero cuando hubo de afrontar la primera adversidad se diluyó de modo decepcionante (por suerte para nosotros claro) .
El calor tb les pasó factura. Y que Butragueño te remate de cabeza un córner en el área pequeña es para hacérselo mirar
Petite remarque"zubizareta FCB et Casillas REA Madrid les seuls gardiens qui ont fait long feu en équipe d'Espagne avec 4 participations chacun en coupe du monde ! bien-sûr le dernier mondial de zubizareta "C M 98 il était gardien du FC Valence
i was 13,oh man,i remember this game real well,what a disaster for Denmark,the curse of Spain already had started 2 years earlier in Euro 84.
Great videos!! What a beutiful kits!! That shirt (Dänemark) is simply awsome
This is the first soccer game i watch in my life , i was 10 years old
1. The Danes couldn't score as much. 2. Zubizarreta was a wall 3. Anything Butragueno touched, went in. 4. Spain countered well.
uma tragédia, Dinamarca era o melhor time da copa de 1986 e o único que poderia vencer a Argentina, é de partir o coração ver uma equipe como essa ser derrotada dessa forma
I watched this match, before that Danish decimated Uruguay and told "we are red, we are white, we are danish dynamite", in this match they started pretty well and then surrendered completely to spain
I still remember this surprise
Because Denmark was stronger
La defensa del equipo danés era una lágrima. Butragueño todo un cazador.
Grande Butragueño!!!!
Viva España!!
I remember I had to watch it late night because the hour difference. I was 16.
Why did world cups look better pre 1990 look better than post 1990?
Deliberate backpassing was less
@@virtuosowins back passing was allowed until 1990. So ironic no?
I think money hadn’t had such a hold on the game . Players knew each other better from home club sides and as a result better team game.
Of course the decisive moment was the M.Olsen's mistake. But it was still 1-1. Elkjaer had good chances to score. And then again M. Olsen's mistake on Butragueno. Probably he was too devastated after his first mistake.
Jesper Olsens mistake not Mortens.
I love the Denmark Hummel kit.So iconic.
When Spain went 2-1 up that's when Denmark lost their heads and started chasing the game . Spain simply hit them on wave after wave of counter attacks , and the Danes wilted in the searing heat (many of the Danish team were well into their thirties ). That said , the Danish team between roughly 83-86 was fantastic , and much like the Brazil team of 81-82 , they won nothing but really caught the imagination of fans over the world .
the stupid backpass by J. Olsen completely destroyed denmark.
USSR and Denmark both were the best teams of the 86 World Cup but unfortunately they lost too much energy during the group stage.It would have been a great quarter final USSR vs Denmark!
nimble zubizarreta and demolition butragueño
(1'22) en qué universo paralelo se le puede gritar así al árbitro?
I watched this match with my father... I couldn't believe that Denmark lost the match
butragueño is so incredibly good
thanks for posting these games,much appreciated!
انا عربي من السعوديه ولكن والله كنت اذكر هذه المباراة جيدا وكانت صدمه للجميع خسارة الدنمارك بهذه النتيجه لان الدنمارك فازت على المانيا والاورغواي واسكتلندا في نفس البطوله
Back in the day I was so disappointed by this result (being a neutral) it's only now that I'm seeing footage of the game :D
Exactly like me!
That second Spain goal is underrated.
If Elkjaer lays the ball off at 4:29, that is 2-1 Denmark and the result might have been very different.
A very good point. After such a run Elk. got exhausted so to pass to Laudrup would be an better option.
I thought Denmark and USSR were the two outstanding teams of this tournament. Unfortunately both lost to lesser teams. USSR lost to Belgium. This result was such a freak. Denmark dominated play and were leading 1-0. Then everything collapsed after letting in a stupid goal.
El Buitre
Une des meilleures équipes espagnoles.
Great match 👍👍
If one bad back pass spells the end to your chances of winning a tournament, I would argue that you weren't good enough to win it in the first place.
Elkjaer ...amazing!!
How did this game turn to 1-5? It is unbeliavable, Denmark was way better than Spain in that tournament, so sad for Elkjaer, one of the greatest forwards for all times to me.
I remember watching this match live
my idols spain butragueno. denmark olsen
Eljaer
Nice game
The Vulture in fine form!
Interesting, the 80s Spain was kinda the Barca - Madrid formation in 2010, and they say Spain had no golden generation before 2010. Even in the 60s Spain had great players (Di Stefano).
Di Stefano is not Spaniard (neither is Puskas or Kubala). However, they really had great players - all the the European Club Cups at that time + their first Euro title is from 1964.
Real Madrid won all of the first five European Cups (1956-60).

Emilio Butragueno's four goals in one game took him to joint-top of the leading scorers' list with Gary Lineker,who had added two goals against Paraguay the day before this match to his hat-trick against Poland.
5 goals each: Lineker (England and Butragueno (Spain)
4 goals each: Altobelli (Italy),Elkjaer (Denmark),Belanov (USSR) and Careca (Brazil)
3 goals each: Valdano (Argentina) and Jesper Olsen (Denmark)
2 goals each: Quirarte (Mexico),Scifo (Belgium),Claesen (Belgium),Yaremchuk (USSR),Cabanas (Paraguay),Romero (Paraguay),Stopyra (France),Socrates (Brazil),Josimar (Brazil),Caldere (Spain),Alloffs (West Germany) and Khairi (Morocco)
@ 1:06: Manolo el del Bombo! Awesome!
Butragueno le renard des surfaces
O Galeão espanhol destruiu o navio Viking!
all the games of the knockout stage had sunny weather.
er...it was played in Mexico in June - what do you expect!?
The exception was the Argentina v Uruguay match ending in a sudden downpour.
Dinamrca 86, Colombia e Camarões em 90 e Nigeria 94, faltaram tradição e experiência pra chegar a final e quem sabe serem campeões respectivamente.
Posiblemente lleves razón... yo incluiría a España tambien... 👍
La FIFA fue muy muy injusta con España en su pelicula oficial de aquel año. Apenas se habló de aquel equipo español en la pelicula, mientras que a la derrumbada Dinamarca se le dieron muchos más minutos. España era el único equipo que podría haber parado a la Argentina del magno Diego Armando Maradona. Hubiese sido un gran partido ese pero el destino quiso que en semifinales España perdiese ante Bélgica en la tanda de penaltis. Al final Argentina ganó aquel mundial con un grandísimo Maradona en sus filas...
No solo fué injusta, sino claramente insidiosa. Básicamente menciona en medio minuto como Butragueño eliminó a Dinamarca "pero luego se hizo justicia" cuando fueron eliminados por Bélgica...
te olvidas de Brasil
wonder why Butrageno didn't take the first penalty? He'd have been a penta-trick holder now...
BlackCrowNavajo... porque Goicoexea tenía mas experiencia y se quería asegurar el partido. Luego, el segundo penalti si lo tira Butragueño porque el resultado ya era muy amplio, además, que al lograr el gol Butragueño se ponía como máximo goleador del campeonato con 5 goles, por eso lo tiró... y marcó.
@@loqueyotediga1968 Lo bueno es que era Señor el especialista de la selección, pero no estaba en el campo. Goiko fue una decisión extraña, Michel hubiese sido lo lógico.
@@alejandrodarias_arquitectorecuerdo que el mismo comentarista Angel de la Casa dijo que la decisión fue Goicoexea porque ese tercer gol era muy importante para asegurar el partido y el seleccionador optó por él.
@@loqueyotediga1968 Sí, estoy de acuerdo. Pero Míchel es mejor pateador como de aquí a Lima, por eso mi extrañeza. Quizás tenia entonces 22 años sólo...
@@alejandrodarias_arquitecto Goikoetxea fue una elección realmente extraña.
Fue el primer penalti que marcó para la selección española.
Back when penalties were real penalties and when plays fell into the ground their legs had genuinely been taken out.
Having said that, I cannot believe why the Spaniards were complaining about the Danish penalty. It was clearly a foul in the box!
Denmark defence is nightmare
Ilusionó para campeón mundial, éste equipo de Dinamarca de 1986, se le comparaba a la sorprendente ''NARANJA MECÁNICA'' DE HOLANDA DE 1974 y 1978, tenía esta Dinamarca un fútbol casi total, como esa NARANJA MECÁNICA de HOLANDA del 74 y 78, yo soy nacido en Santa Marta, Colombia, y me gusta el fútbol exquisito y sincronizado que practicaron estos equipos europeos, fue frustante para mí, y obviamente para muchos que Dinamarca quedara eliminada y con semejante goleada contra España, en ese partido fue clave de la derrota de Dinamarca la ausencia de Nielsen, gran estrella habilidoso, que fue también clave contra Uruguay pero por acumulación de tarjetas amarillas no pudo estar en este partido, y creo que Michael Laudrup tampoco estuvo en ese partido, así que también eso influyó, y para nada España pasó a la siguiente fase porque fue eliminada, su papel destacado fue haber eliminado a una selección Danesa considerada favorita por su maravilloso fútbol, y HABERNOS FRUSTADO LOS AMANTES DEL BUEN FÚTBOL Y ESPECTÁCULO , DE VER MÁS ALLÁ DE LOS CUARTOS DE FINAL A ESTE EQUIPAZO DE DINAMARCA, parecería que lo que pasó contra España fuera un accidente, que lamentable, y que triste estuve yo ese día que perdieron esta selección Danesa.
Así es. La goleada de España fue un accidente, no un reflejo de la realidad de ambas selecciones. Cuanto dolió esa derrota de Dinamarca a los amantes del buen futbol. Hasta el día de hoy me sigo preguntando que les pasó a los daneses ese día. Aunque a favor de los españoles está que dos años antes, en la Eurocopa de 1984, España había derrotado en semifinales a Dinamarca vía penales. Y ese día del partido del mundial, España ejerció mucha presión y no dejaban de correr los españoles, así llego el primer gol de Butragueño. Una aclaración: Michael Laudrup sí jugó ese partido.
Soy Argentino y fuimos Campeones! y para mi el rival más difícil hubiese sido Dinamarca.
La goleada de España fue un accidente para los que sobrevaloraron a Dinamarca, un equipo que se vio que no defendía demasiado bien. Por cierto, el primer penalty para los daneses, inexistente.
Jajajajaa, que manera de llorar 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@cowboydemedianoche3048 justo, muchos llorones
Tremendo fiasco se llevó Dinamarca el mejor equipo de la 1ra ronda de esa copa mundo, empezó bien y ganando y terminó goleado, increíble. Imagen los cuartos de final Dinamarca vs la Urss ufffff hubiese sido tremendo partido.
Olsen is a penalty export. In my remember, he never lost.
Great game, exciting football
Was gutted when the danes got turned over here,laudrup was my fav player.
3:40 Nice backpass, Denmark 😜
The Danes defense played very poorly but they will still lost in Penalty kick since the Spanish goalkeeper was one of the best in that world cup.
Partidazo del Buitre, poker de BUTRAGUEÑO
Ese Elkjaer era un crack.
First goal of Spain was so funny.it destroyed Denmark
Yo soy fanatico de francia pero hiso falta suecia con el loco thomas ravelli.
Remember this match, it was shocking even to me as I was cheering for Spain.
