The Rose Bowl hosted the World Cup Final, with over 94,000 fans witnessing an electric penalty shootout to decide the World Cup champions. With shootout goals from Branco, Romario, and Dunga, Brazil were able to persevere over a resilient Italian team. This was the first World Cup Final to go to penalties. Romario bagged five goals in the tournament to earn the Golden Ball as the best player, while he and his teammates Dunga, Jorginho, and Marcio Santos were named to the tournament’s Best XI.
