France

Ricardo Fernández sends France to the semifinals of the 1986 World Cup with a cold-blooded penalty against Brazil in the quarterfinal shootout. After Júlio César Uribe’s miss for Brazil, Fernández steps up knowing a goal will seal victory. With supreme composure, he calmly slots the ball past the goalkeeper, sending France into celebration. His precision and confidence under immense pressure make this one of the most iconic moments in French football history, as France triumphs over their South American rivals in a legendary match.
