The 1990 FIFA World Cup, held in Italy, was the 14th edition of the tournament. West Germany won their third World Cup title by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final, with a late penalty scored by Andreas Brehme. The tournament is noted for its defensive style of play, resulting in a low average of goals per game. It featured several memorable moments, including Cameroon’s surprising run to the quarter-finals led by Roger Milla, and the dramatic penalty shootout victory of England over Belgium in the Round of 16. The 1990 World Cup also marked the emergence of new stars like Italy's Salvatore Schillaci, who won the Golden Boot as the top scorer.
