Fouad Anwar, a former member of the Saudi national team, believes that Sweden’s third goal, scored during the 1994 World Cup final match, effectively terminated the game and put an end to Saudi Arabia’s World Cup quest.
Fouad told the “goal” program: The first goal that Sweden scored early is difficult for us, and when we reduced the difference to 2-1, the Swedes scored the third goal and killed the match.
In his opinion, the team’s success was due to the fact that it was composed of players with experience and players from a younger generation; some of its members had previously competed in the Junior World Cup.
Fouad Anwar: Sweden’s third goal destroyed the ambition of reaching the quarterfinals.
