My dad passed away but he recorded this game on VHS the year of my birth. I can only imagine how excited he was watching this. Seeing his country Nigeria in the world cup for the first time
Believe you me. Although they lost, It was a wonderful game and a wonderful time for Nigerian football. For one remembers well. May he 'Rest in peace' 🙏🏽
@Abhishek Ghosh I know that and I respect him as a legend but on this occasion he was on drugs. Why praise and hail the brilliance of someone who was on drug? Drugs is something that should not be applauded in sports. You should have been more reserved in your comments. If it was Italian 90 or Mexico 86, I will understand. But on this occasion, the drugs takes away his shine except you support people who cheat with drugs.
R.I.P Diego ,absolutely fantastic footballer a sheer joy to watch this genius at work doing things with a football that only us mere mortals can only dream of doing sorely missed but he will never ever be forgotten ,great video blessed .

I've recorded this game on VHS Tape and watched it almost 30 times beetwen 1994 -1996, but never after. What memories ! Maradona last game in World Cup. The Greatest football player ever.
Was at that game and Caniggia’s second goal for Argentina was epic. Would not have dared to dream that day that Claudio would go on to play for my home town team - Glasgow Rangers. 🇦🇷
This World Cup was said for Brazil to win body was one of the best players in Italy and he missed the panel to kick Argentina was the best had the best players the best of everythin but everybody knew that by taking Maradona out of the tournament was going to leave Argentina out of the way and was going to leave for Brazil to be Champions it's all corruption
Every WC has some kind of “corruption scandal” to it. I mean the Italy vs Bulgaria game was definitely in Italy’s favor by the refs. They don’t want Bulgaria vs Brazil. They don’t want Italy vs Sweden. They want the 2 big dogs in there. No match is ever fixed. However the refs will usually favor a certain side to an extent. I mean look at all the winners. It’s Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, and Spain. I don’t mention England bc even though they have a massive fan base, they haven’t won since 1966. Spain gets mentioned bc that team from 2008-2012 was insane! 42-0 international record streak I think. The ones that live outside the bubble are Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, and Croatia. Mostly all the other nations compete to make it entertaining.
Shows the inexperience of African sides Caniggia sees his marker leave him screams as Diego to give him the ball Diego says calm down calm down then rolls it to him and Claudio finishes it. Lovely. Great to see him playing in Scotland later on in his career the passion fired him up.
The iconic "Diego! Diego!" scream from Caniggia. While Maradona looks the other way, before feeding the ball perfectly for Caniggia's run in. The last great game from Maradona probably.
I second you.. however you need to see his goal against Greece at USA 94 and I’m sure you will change your view that his legs and tricks were gone at this stage.. this free kick was class apart and he took everyone by surprise!! It was like a Bruce Lee moment in football. Sheer genius!
If Diego was not banned, Argentina would definetly win the 94 World Cup. They had the best team in their history and Diego was in a great shape and also mentally prepared to win every game. RIP Diego, you will always be the Greatest of All Times !!
@@quocviet9904 You are right but with Diego Argentina was so dedicated to win that cup. No other team would be able to stop them. You could tell the self confidence of every player in Argentina team with Diego on the pitch. Anyway, I think Diego could also play at 98 World Cup if he could stay in shape.
Eu com meus 40 anos em 2022, a Copa mais marcante foi mesmo a de 1994. Lembro bem dessa cena, o Maradona pedindo "calma" ao Caniggia e dando o toque, simples e preciso e a bela conclusão. Golaço!
Maradona was the biggest attraction of this World Cup and the 2 games he played he was badly fouled but was at his very best. A great comeback by the legend. Legends will come and legends will go but there will never be another Maradona ever again. He is the GREATEST! thank you for the beautiful memories Diego. RIP..♥️
La mejor generación de nigerianos, Yekini, Daniel Amokachi, Celestine Babayaro, George Finnidi, Emanuel Amunique y todavía les alcanzó para competir en Francia 98 a un gran nivel.👍
A crime against football was committed in that world cup by expelling Maradona. That Argentina team with him was unbeatable. Maradona serving strikers like Cannigia, Batistuta, Balbo and Redonto in the midfield. Crime pure evil to expel him.
when maradona played into the field, other player achieved courage & they got goal. maradona is a miraculous goal maker. everybody remember him 10 number.
This shot is still remembered when Caniggia called his colleague Maradona: “Diego Diego” when he scored the goal, and we were all saddened by Nigeria because he gave an impressive performance. Algerian African
Had the pleasure of being at this match as a 7 year old - among the things I remember were the many cars in bumper to bumper traffic on the way to the game at the old foxboro stadium ( an absolute nightmare to get to since there’s only one way in ) with tons of people holding their Argentina flags out and waving them with joy/ wasn’t til we got to the stadium that we saw some Nigeria supporters having the time Of their life , playing music and dancing. All the sights and sounds and colors were brand new to me and I didn’t know what it all meant but I knew I was immediately in love with football . How I long for those beautiful days with not a care in the world .
I used to practice that 2nd goal by Argentina all summer of 94’! That goal and Del Piero’s goal in the 2006 WC SF vs Germany are definitely my 2 favorites! Actually Tevez’s goal in 2010 and Maxwell Rodriguez’s goal in 2006 are up there also!
I was 11 in 1994. I still remember this match like it was just yesterday. Really wish Nigeria won that match but we were no match for Maradona's genius that day.
Nigeria had a great team that year. It's not apparent in this highlights video but it was all Nigeria attacking and controlling the game. Argentina won due to their few creative super stars who could change the result of any game.
Inexperience cost Nigeria both matches. They played well and scored first, In the match against Italy, Amuneke scored a good goal, Zola was sent off and Nigeria were leading till the 90th minute. Oliseh couldnt tackle well inside the 18 yard box leading to the pass to Roberto Baggio to level. Even after Italy scored the penalty in the extra time, Nigeria had a golden chance to level it 2-2 off a beautiful tackle and pass across italy's 18 Yard from Mike Emenalo, Nigeria had 1,2,3 players that would have scored but Yekini miscued and resultant attempt to score failed as Dino Baggio cleared the ball to safety.

Yea 4 times already, even in Olympic and World youth cup Argentina has faced Nigeria in the final more than once. I predict Nigeria and Argentina in the same group again in 2018.
Oladele Olawaiye how much ignorance. If the team that is going to kick the free kick does not ask for a barrier, then they can kick when they want, without waiting for the referee's whistle. Learn the rules of this sport and then talk.
Javier Dangelo What do you mean by "how much ignorance "? Don't call someone ignorant if you can't speak proper English. I see you didn't address the issue of the player being offside on the 1st goal. It is your poor sportsmanship that got Marradona banned for cheating with drugs. And don't forget about the "hand of God" in 86 and the cheating in 1978 to knock Brazil out before your 1st championship. Argentina has a legacy of cheating.
Watched this live. Nigeria never went 121 on Maradona. Diego just toddled around the pitch at walking pace pinging centimetre perfect passes when he felt like it. Never seen anyone pass the ball as well as Maradona that day.
what a combination,,cannigia and maradona,,, loved them both,,, cant forget them from 1990,,,,,,, no matter where ever it goes,, maradona will remain the worlds best player,,,,,my child hood love team argentina,, I am 40 now and each time i stop watching wc when argentina exits,,,,,love from pakistan
I remember this game very well. Maradona was hecked by the Nigerians all game as they couldn't handle his skills. The team was so promising having also beaten Greece 4-0. If not for Maradona ban, this team would be the team to beat.
1:59 canigia looks at the top corner, then heads down pretending walking back toward his own half and sends his marker wrong way, Then Passes the ball to Maradona and shouts Diego! Diego! give me the ball back, 2:09 the top corner is blown.
I remember at night during this game my family unknowingly locked the door of my half-walled room from the inside and went outside and went to the nearest club to watch the game .Maradona was still excited then.....RIP the one & only "Magician"
Nigeria really surprised me yesterday. Argentina 2:4 Nigeria Away to win and over 5.5 Can u imagine this kind Match The Odds is crazy .But risky game NIGERIA MY COUNTRY My two hands are up I love u very much
Olha a inteligência desses caras. Caniggia vendo que estava em posição legal e livre de marcação, grita pro Maradona tocar nele pra fazer o segundo gol.
Great game and quick thinking Argentina scored 2 smart goals against sleeping 🛏 Nigeria 🇳🇬 team. Cannigia was the first to react to the free kick expecting a rebound if the keeper fumbles with the ball. As a striker, you’re always taught to anticipate where the ball will be to score those Special winning Goals. Nigeria best World Cup team. Been to all world cups since 1996 in Germany and Russia 2018. Nigeria vs Argentina game in Russia was also a sad occasion as the referee denied Nigeria a second blatant penalty by Marcus Mojo who eventually scored the winner behind the sleeping Moses who should have taken the second penalty to probably send Argentina home.... Nigeria loss to Italy 🇮🇹 was even worse to accept as I did not go to work for three days. My only consolation was that my beautiful Daughter ABIGAIL Laura was born on 06/07/94 which was a day after the match. She’s now 25 years old and guess what she doesn’t like football 🙈😂⚽️⚽️⚽️. But who cares, she got a 1st Class in University degree and doing well in life. Am still playing football at over 50 years and will retire when am 65 years old...lol

Look at 1986 when the pitches were awful- bouncing and bobbling everywhere and check his control of the ball- amazing.

And don't forget about the "hand of God" in 86 and the cheating in 1978 to knock Brazil out before your 1st championship. Argentina has a legacy of cheating.

Redondo man!!!! I miss his game, his touch, his style, everything a midfielder should be
Classic match! I remember I watched this game on TV, I was 8 yrs old.
I remerber watched two.I was 2 yrs old.
Both Argentine goals had a magical Maradona touch!

I was There that Day. Great memories 🇦🇷❤🇦🇷
Watched this live. Nigeria never went 121 on Maradona.
Diego just toddled around the pitch at walking pace pinging centimetre perfect passes when he felt like it.
Never seen anyone pass the ball as well as Maradona that day.
Last superb Maradona's goal in a WC...love you Diego, the best ever.
1994, 2002, 2010, 2014 and 2018
You forgot 1996 and 2008 summer olympics, also u-20 2005 finals in Netherlands, lol

2 : 1 maradona @ kenigia 💜
1 : 0 veron corner and Batistuta 💜
1 : 0 veron corner also 🤣
3 : 2 messi and roko
2 : 1 messi and roko also 🤣
Since the robbery against Nigeria in 1994 have their national team win anything? CAPITAL NO and they will never because the wages of sin is death.
Os Hermanos cheiraram pó em todas essas copas...
what a combination,,cannigia and maradona,,, loved them both,,, cant forget them from 1990,,,,,,, no matter where ever it goes,, maradona will remain the worlds best player,,,,,my child hood love team argentina,, I am 40 now and each time i stop watching wc when argentina exits,,,,,love from pakistan
Me sigue emocionando... Diego, Caniggia, Batistuta. Cracks!
+...HAGI !
I’m glad I saw him play live. He lived.
Great squad with Maradona, Redondo, Simeone, Batistuta, Caniggia
great team that should have won the tournament!!. should at least make it to the final
With Maradona, it could have won the tournament.
That was the Argentina international soccer team. was one of the best.
Probably better than the '86 squad and would have won it if Diego was not expelled.
I remember this game very well. Maradona was hecked by the Nigerians all game as they couldn't handle his skills. The team was so promising having also beaten Greece 4-0. If not for Maradona ban, this team would be the team to beat.
I remember this game I was 13 years old,Rip all players who passed away Maradona
Rashid Yakini, Stephen keshi,Okafor
1:59 canigia looks at the top corner, then heads down pretending walking back toward his own half and sends his marker wrong way, Then Passes the ball to Maradona and shouts Diego! Diego! give me the ball back, 2:09 the top corner is blown.
Such a smart bit of football.

this Nigeria team was just amazing, fantastic !!!
I remember at night during this game my family unknowingly locked the door of my half-walled room from the inside and went outside and went to the nearest club to watch the game .Maradona was still excited then.....RIP the one & only "Magician"
Love that this two always ended up in the same group in world
Cups,they both play great.

caniggia goal is very underrated
شكرا اخي على الفيديو، احسن مونديال عشتو، هادي مباراة احسن منتخب نيجيري لكن لا حيلة لهم مع الداهية مارادونا و زملاؤه،،، اخوك من المغرب
Rest In Peace. *LEGEND*
The artist of football und the expert of football is only DIEGO.
Maradona + Caniggia = Super.
Dont forget batistuta
In China, Caniggia is called the son of WIND,
Omg Nigeria's goal was amazing but still nothing for the Argentines😎
El cani el mejor! El que vio esos partidos me va a entender! Aguante la selección!
Nigeria really surprised me yesterday.
Argentina 2:4 Nigeria
Away to win and over 5.5
Can u imagine this kind Match
The Odds is crazy .But risky game
NIGERIA MY COUNTRY
My two hands are up
I love u very much

Olha a inteligência desses caras. Caniggia vendo que estava em posição legal e livre de marcação, grita pro Maradona tocar nele pra fazer o segundo gol.
Mentiroso

highbury10 u must be young to say that. If u watched the 1994 world cup u wouldn't say that. The 1994 team was the best of all time.

Jomo Joe How about Atlanta 1996? Now that was pure magic!
Great game and quick thinking Argentina scored 2 smart goals against sleeping 🛏 Nigeria 🇳🇬 team. Cannigia was the first to react to the free kick expecting a rebound if the keeper fumbles with the ball. As a striker, you’re always taught to anticipate where the ball will be to score those Special winning Goals. Nigeria best World Cup team. Been to all world cups since 1996 in Germany and Russia 2018. Nigeria vs Argentina game in Russia was also a sad occasion as the referee denied Nigeria a second blatant penalty by Marcus Mojo who eventually scored the winner behind the sleeping Moses who should have taken the second penalty to probably send Argentina home....
Nigeria loss to Italy 🇮🇹 was even worse to accept as I did not go to work for three days. My only consolation was that my beautiful Daughter ABIGAIL Laura was born on 06/07/94 which was a day after the match. She’s now 25 years old and guess what she doesn’t like football 🙈😂⚽️⚽️⚽️. But who cares, she got a 1st Class in University degree and doing well in life. Am still playing football at over 50 years and will retire when am 65 years old...lol
NICE STORY THERE. I WAS BORN 1ST APRIL 1995
Diego! Diego! I am alone, give me ball..
Hahahah
He was on drug
@@gabesegun7966 for taking pseudoephedrine ?? a nasal decongestant? in 1986 the same thing happened with a player from Spain and he was suspended for a single match ... moreover in 1998 they deleted that substance from the list of prohibited drugs ... FIFA's animosity against Maradona was clear ... Ridiculous, get the best player in the world out of a World Cup and transform a soccer party into rubbish. Great players are beaten on the court ... Brazil champion? I didn't see him play against Maradona's Argentina or against a team that would have beaten him ...
@@olivergamondi4187 if it wasn't a banned substance he wouldn't have been kicked out. It was deleted in 1998. What has that got to do with 1994 when it wasn't deleted and banned. Why would you fast forward 4 years. He was kicked out in 1994. You can't clear him of cheating proactively. Every team in the world cup can only play 7 matches. The winner can not play every team in the competition to be the champion. If he was not on drug his team and association would have protested and fought to reverse the suspension. Why you have to bring Brazil into it i have no idea. They won again 8 years later. You may not like them it doesn't still remove the facts that Brazil is still the greatest soccer team in the world.
Gabe Segun...”Brazil the greatest soccer team in the world 🌍”...Loses 7-1 on home soil & then loses third place playoff 0-3. Not anymore, buddy!! LOL
@@gabesegun7966 La AFA no lo defendió porque no lo quería en el mundial, pero de no ser por él no hubiera clasificado.
this has to be the all time Argentina greatest line up.. they would have met the samba Brazil in the final. Italy were just lucky to sneak through.
I thnk the greatest is 2007 Argentina for Copa America. That team was insane !
Gracias Diego por tanto.
2:25 OMG Diego Simeone was also playing against us ....Nice++++
El mejor equipo argentino que vi. Argentina must have been the champion, un equipazo. Lástima lo del dopaje a Maradona
RIP Diego Maradona 😭 you're the best in the world forever.miss u legend
Never the best
That first goal woooah!
Nigeria played sensational but in the end Argentina barely prevailed.. Great game!
Estos hermosos lo sabian todo en el futbol ese equipo se iba para campeón era un show!
Wow,the same score as it was yesterday!
Nigeria era un equipazo quedó primera del grupo y se topa con Italia en octavos como mejor tercero y los eliminó... Cosas del fútbol y cosas de los grandes equipos que parece que se fortalecen cuando van avanzando.
RIP Diego Armando Maradona. We miss you legend.
Yo soy uruguayo y quería que saliera campeón argentina,que cuadrazo tenía, si no lo hubieran sancionado a Maradona eran campeones
Não esqueça que o Brasil tinha Romário no auge...
Jaja,equipazo el De nigeria boludo
1990's Nigeria team was amazing
Best first round match at USA 1994. Both teams had that killer instinct with Nigeria being the newbies. But Argentina showed their experience and ability would be tough to beat. I thought Argentina was the favorite after this match. They looked incredible!! But then Maradona...
I hope, one day, Nigeria can rise back this level of futbol.
2018 world cup, they are in the same group with Argentine again! and they have 6 points, where as Argentine has 0 points
NijaBoiTellEm , hey they could have the revenge tomorrow
We all do; it was an incredible squad. Cheers from Panama!
Huh....The Good Old World Cups..

Desde 1994 que nos toca con nigeria en cada grupo, para mi que la FIFA los ponen con nosotros aproposito
Very true
Still in Qatar 2022
Diego
Maradona
Is
Greatest player of Football
For ever.
Maradona can not hold water to Messi I!!!
@@jumakapilima5674 - How many world cups has Messie won by himself???
Put Maradona on today's pitches with rules that dont let defenders attack and he would be unstoppable. Look at 1982 when he got hacked down everytime he touched the ball and defenders didnt even get a yellow card. Look at 1986 when the pitches were awful- bouncing and bobbling everywhere and check his control of the ball- amazing.
@@mrfrisky2997 six times best player of the world, this boy Leo is the greatest player of all times in the world!
@@jumakapilima5674 He only has Ronaldo as competition. Maradona was playing in an era against the like of Platini, Rummenigger, Dalglish, Gullet, Shuster etc etc
As you know so much you will also know that south American players wernt considered for European Footballer of the year (EFotY)in those days - EFotY was the predecessor to world player of the year.
I've seen both play live and belive me Maradonna was on a different level.
@@mrfrisky2997 let me respect your opinion, what l believe is that, although Maradona played in his time, records still are there putting Leo the greatest above all!!!
Que grande el pájaro Caniggia! Que definición de gol
If Claudio Caniggia played the final, I'm sure Argentina would have won the world cup in 1990.
Carlos Vazquez hahaha 1 - 0 with a penalty
absolutely...The dynamic change in 1990 without him. He was the key player to get them to the final. That was a BS yellow card against Italy too. If Maradona didn't get ban in 1994, it would have been another world cup too. Batigol was a beast!
Yousef Araba
He gained a red card in semi-final. Unfortunately :'( :'(
He was on jugs that is why he couldnt play!!
I watched the full game in 1994 ! Nigeria dominated the game ! Rip Maradona
