On June 18, 1986, mexico local time, the last two 1/8 finals of the Mexico World Cup were staged, namely England vs Paraguay, Denmark vs Spain.
The first to compete is the match between England and Paraguay, England's performance in this World Cup group stage is not good, the first round of 0:1 defeat to Portugal, the second round of 0:0 by Morocco forced to draw, if not the last Lineker big shot a hat trick, whether it will be able to qualify is still unknown. Paraguay, by contrast, finished second in Group B with one win and two draws.
Considering that Paraguay's group is not strong, England is still the more optimistic side in this game. Sure enough, in the 32nd minute of the game, England took the lead, England launched an attack, just when people thought the ball was going to go out of the bottom line, Reinker, who had just scored a hat-trick in the last game, appeared near the small penalty area, only to see him easily wrap up the shot to score, and England took a 1-0 lead.
In the 56th minute of the second half, Peter Beardsley's goal helped England extend the score to 2-0. The better Englanders certainly wouldn't be satisfied with the score, so the attack continued. In the 72nd minute of the game, England launched an attack again, only to see that it was Reinkel lightning started again, facing the Paraguayan defender who was about to block himself, he fell to the ground and scored a low shot, completing the second score at the same time, helping England to lock the final score to 3:0, and England easily advanced to the quarterfinals.
The final quarter-final of this World Cup will be played by Denmark against Spain. Denmark performed amazingly in the group stage of this World Cup, scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1 goal in three wins, including a 6-1 sweep of Uruguay that is still fresh in people's minds, as strong as the Federal Republic of Germany can only bow to them. Spain actually performed well in the group stage, only losing the match against the championship favourite Brazil, and winning all the other matches. The match was actually a battle of revenge, with the two teams meeting in the semi-finals of Euro 1984, when Spain had the last laugh in a penalty shootout.
Although Spain laughed to the end at the European Championship, this time people were clearly more optimistic about Denmark. In the 33rd minute of the game, Denmark took the lead as expected, the foul in the Spanish penalty area gave Denmark a penalty opportunity, Olsen took the lead, and Denmark took a 1-0 lead. Just when people thought that Denmark would win the game without suspense, Butragueno in the Spanish team stepped forward. The 23-year-old Butragueño is from Real Madrid and as a striker, he has a keen sense of smell, consciousness and is good at grabbing points. In the 43rd minute of the game, the Danish team just defused an attack by the Spanish team, the Danish goalkeeper handed the ball to his own defender, the Danish defender then passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, who knew that just at this time Butragueno suddenly appeared, sent the ball into the Danish team gate, Spain equalized.
In the 56th minute of the Western Half, Spain won a corner kick opportunity, the corner was opened and passed by the Spanish player's header, the football came to the better position of Butragueno's head, of course, he did not miss the opportunity, the ball was scored, Spain overtook the score. In the 68th minute of the match, Denmark was fouled in the penalty area, Spain won a penalty opportunity, and Gojkochea turned the score into 3:1 in one fell swoop.
The score seems set for Spain, but their attack continues. In the 80th minute of the game, Spain attacked again, after the ball came to the Danish team's penalty area, the Spanish player crossed with a foot, the ball came to Butragueno again, he naturally laughed and completed the hat-trick, the score was 4:1.
The goal had undoubtedly killed the game, but Buttragueno's scoring drama continued. In the 88th minute of the match, Spain again had a good chance to take a penalty and Butragueño was tripped by a Danish player. But he immediately scored the penalty he created and staged the senior year, knowing that the last time someone staged the senior in the World Cup was Eusebio in 1966. With Butragueño's crazy performance, Spain swept Denmark 5:1 to advance to the quarter-finals.
