1982 World Cup Header Goals Compilation: Paolo Rossi Shines

This compilation strings together headed goals from the 1982 World Cup, with commentary on Hungary, New Zealand, Belgium, Italy and Poland. The recurring takeaway is that Paolo Rossi's headers put Italy in control and left them on the brink of the final.

Hungary completely outclassed El Salvador — Hungary made it look easy early on and the game was one-sided.
New Zealand were caught napping by the same kind of cross twice — In two minutes John Wark scored twice from Gordon Strachan deliveries and New Zealand's defending was slow to react.
Bonyek's second header was every bit as good as his first; Belgium cannot give him space inside the area — A clipped cross to the far post let him head home and put Belgium two down.
That header ended any thought of an Irish revival — It went in off the crossbar to make the score 4-1.
Italy were surely in the final now — Conti's precise cross and Rossi's header made it 2-0, with Rossi scoring his fifth goal in two games.
A goalkeeper error gifted Poland the lead — The goalkeeper completely missed the cross and a Poland player had an easy header to make it 2-1.
Rossi has stamped his name all over this World Cup, and his header was almost impossible to defend — The cross was a devil of a ball and West Germany showed how hard it was to deal with.

And Neil Aspin, what a shot! Just 3 minutes gone and Neil Aspin makes it 1-0 to Hungary. What a cracking start to this World Cup for Hungary. They do have the unusual position being in touch with their own country thanks to a radio ham. Corner short for Hungary. The cross in from top. The header from Neil Aspin and that makes it an amazing 10-1. It all seems so easy at this stage. But really Hungary have totally outclassed poor El Salvador. McGrain Strachan's cross Walks there again! Goal! Would you believe it? Two goals in 2 minutes, both to the name of John Wark. Both supplied by Gordon Strachan and New Zealand were really caught napping there. Archibald's header is in! And that's a magnificent goal by the Tottenham striker. He rose almost unchallenged and scored his header the angle to absolute perfection. The corner kick was well taken but the header straight into the corner and way out of the reach of Van Hattum. >> He's able to run unchallenged deep into the French half. Nobody's coming out to confront him. Here's Trevor Francis. He has a look up. Crosses his left foot. ROBSON! OH, WHAT A GOAL! ENGLAND ARE BACK IN FRONT. Bryan Robson scores his second goal of the match. And that was classic by the Manchester United midfield player. >> The cross in for Arnautović and he's gone. Marko Arnautović, one nothing Austria. Well, that's the first real chance I suppose that Austria have had. And Arnautović buries it. >> [screaming] [screaming] [sighs] [sighs] >> Schörgenhofer is deep. >> [cheering] >> Arnautović looks to the linesman but it's not going to be ruled offside. Scorer in fact was Hinterseer the number three. Left completely free. >> [screaming] >> Going to be McArthur again trying to CURL IT IN. HIT THE BAR. AND AGAIN AGAINST THE BAR AND O'NEILL. >> AND THIS IS GOING TO SHOW THE value now of having big players up for set plays. Lovely flighted ball in from Sammy McIlroy. He nearly done it first time out. Good save from the keeper and he's finished it. >> Brilliant. And a bullet of a header from Bonyek it was. >> And there's another one and that's gone in! >> [cheering] >> Yannis. Zuba. >> Krychowiak with the ball in and HERE'S BONYEK. THEY CAN'T GIVE HIM ANY SPACE INSIDE THE OF THE AREA. THAT IS A BRILLIANTLY TAKEN GOAL. EVERY BIT OF IT IS GOOD AS HIS FIRST. AND BELGIUM FIND THEMSELVES two down. Lovely ball clipped in towards the far post. And what a header that is from Bonyek. >> [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] [cheering] [sighs] >> Socrates Here's Eder. Zico Lovely run by Falcão. ARGENTINA A LITTLE EXPOSED. JúNIOR! BRAZIL HAVE THEIR SECOND. AND ARGENTINA'S REIGN AS WORLD CHAMPIONS COULD WELL BE COMING TO AN END. Great awareness FROM ZICO. FALCãO'S ball to Júnior at the far post and the much-maligned São Paulo striker gets his second goal of these World Cup finals. A goal by Bámbola. Who goes it in? As the cross deceives Ole Skammel sgar. And playing in a hurry to get the game restarted. It went over Skammels gaard and Bámbola planted the header into the top corner. The cross from Sánchez. >> [screaming] >> And Bámbola playing in that crowd sends them home. >> [sighs] >> Yurchenko Tigana. And Yurchenko. Finds foot five. But nobody there to mark him. And the header in off the crossbar to make it 4-1. And blowing any thought of an Irish revival. Conti showing really neat close control. And still Bruno Conti. Cabrini making his way forward from left back. AND ROSSI! 1-0 ITALY! IT'S TAKEN THEM LESS THAN 5 MINUTES TO BREAK THROUGH. AND FINALLY PAOLO ROSSI SCORES. THE MAN SO CONTROVERSIALLY RECALLED TO THIS ITALIAN STARTING lineup for this tournament. Hadn't scored in his last 10 internationals. But finally scores his first goal since his international ban at the best possible time. And it's headed Italy in front in a game they have to win. They have the early lead. Altobelli. Rossi to his right. Conti to his left. Conti for Italy AND PAOLO ROSSI! AND SURELY ITALY ARE IN THE FINAL NOW. WHAT A SIMPLE BUT A LOVELY GOAL. AND THE celebrations are suitably impressive. Bruno Conti on the left taking the pass from Altobelli, picking out his target which was Paolo Rossi. Look at the precision of the cross and of the header. Italy lead 2-0 and Młynarczyk who had only let in one goal before today beaten twice now by a man nobody can seem to contain. The Italian number 20, Paolo Rossi, makes himself the out-and-out top goalscorer in the tournament by scoring his fifth in two games. >> Oh, THE GOALKEEPER MISSED IT AND LATO HAS GIVEN POLAND THE LEAD. WELL, what a turn up. >> [cheering] >> Castenada missed the cross completely and Młynarczyk, the big man, had the easiest header. Boniek with the kick but the goalkeeper suddenly at fault here. Missed it completely. Easy goal. 2-1 to Poland. >> Oriali >> [cheering] >> Gentile Oh, WHAT A CHANCE AND A GOAL! PAOLO ROSSI! WHO HAS stamped his name all over this World Cup. Devil of a ball in. Almost impossible to defend as West Germany demonstrated.
