Netherlands

Johan Cruyff scores one of his most iconic goals against Brazil in the 1974 World Cup with a spectacular first-time volley. Making a perfectly timed run into the box, he meets a looping cross from the left with a precise right-footed strike, sending the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net. His technique, balance, and composure under pressure make this goal a masterpiece of Dutch Total Football. This brilliant finish seals a 2-0 victory, sending the Netherlands to the final.
