 * Italia 90 - first semi-final
 * The homeside Italy play holders Argentina in Naples. The game is 1-1 a.e.t. with Schillaci scoring yet again to put Italy ahead in the 17', but Claudio Caniggia equalises halfway through the second half, breaking Walter Zenga's tournament clean sheet. Argentina eventually go through on penalties, winning the shoot-out 4–3 with Goycochea saving Aldo Serena's attempt. (FIFA extended highlights here)
