Dutch(e) textbook example

Brazil loses track when Holland's total soccer is momentarily total on July 3, 1974 in Dortmund. Left back Ruud Krol passes to left winger Rob Rensenbrink, who is facing the center line, takes the ball on his chest, turns and plays it forward, believing Krol will go deep.

And that is what Krol does, at full speed and fifteen meters from the back line he crosses the ball, with his left, his naturally weak left, which has long since ceased to be weak due to endless kicking practice. The ball comes in hard and half-high, spinning a little away from goalkeeper Emerson Leao's goal, ideal for Johan Cruijff, who comes sprinting up and is faster than captain Marinho Peres. Cruijff jumps to the ball and in mid-air his right foot finds the ball. Landing on his back, Cruijff is already cheering: 2-0, reigning world champion Brazil is eliminated, the Netherlands goes to the final and the Netherlands' total soccer goal is declared the most beautiful goal of the World Cup.
