World Cup '94 -- Al Owairan -- Saudi Arabia vs Belgium

[uvxu]

الحين الحارس حق بلجيكا يدرب الشباب فريق سعيد

[misakisheraz]

GREATEST GOAL OF WORLD CUP

[TheMrHUMANN]

By the way Belgium Goalkeeper in this match now training in saudi arabia the culb that made Saeed Al-Owairan

[fszron]

Awesome! The defender was in knots at 0:07 -- he was on the left, then ran across the ball to the right leaving Saeed with tons of space to shoot!

Better than all the goals from 1998-2010!

[abuabooh]

because he is arabic they never mentioned

Belgium team and coach

[RICKDaFonque]

MESSI DOCET.

[Manutd4ever8]

Amazing... Its better than Maradonas goal... its unfortunate that no one knows the goal..

[SomeOneFromOFS]

The funny thing is that the player who scored, Alowairan and the Belgian goalkeeper are now friends.

Just this year, AlOwairan was the middleman between the Goalie (who is now a coach) and his former team Alshabab to come coach them.

The goalie is now the current coach for Alshabbab where AlOwairan played his whole career. Alshabab is currently first in the league! The coach's name is Michel Preud'homme.

[AmErWwF]

proud to be saudi

that was the best goal in world cup history

[amirzubairmughal]

good goal but saudia never reached at sami final

[francisraud]

Better than maradona.

Much better.

[monito9022]

exelente gol tiene todo inteligencia,rapides,buen manejo de balon, saluods desde laredo tex. los invito aver mis videos de soccer abel (el mago del futbol).

[StormWolf01]

I was 9 at the time. I couldn't believe my eyes, i was so furious that the guy could go through the whole field like that and still score. I still hate that goal.

Yes, i am belgian.

[max966966]

The Belgian players in WC94 disliked this video!

[madskull100]

Btw this was the first time saudi arabia went to the WC so they didnt have any type of experience when it comes to high quality matches, also in these times Belgium was concerned as one of the top European teams. The Saudi team lost against holland 2-1 and holland scored in the last 5 mins, saudi arabia was a big surprise in that cup, best team ever in saudi history

[CAMCABO4KAX]

Wow, didn't know that Saudi Arabians can really play football.... o_O

[zorkor]

@CAMCABO4KAX The are Asian champions and won the Asian cup many times.

[BeNiTr0W]

@CAMCABO4KAX they also eat..

[CAMCABO4KAX]

@BeNiTr0W

eat?

[gusty21]

Este corrió nada mas... y tuvo suerte en el area. Maradona hizo lo que quizo ante inglaterra... no fue solo un golpe de suerte. Maradona fue lo que se vé y mas.

[paygi110709]

Nunca falta el argentino lloron que le chupa la verga al Diego

[ply172]

That's Tonka from Mike Bassett England Manager

[ppantifa]

el gol de maradona fue mas que un simple gol

por eso es el mejor del siglo y compara el rival, éste fue contra belgica, el gol que hizo maradona fue ante inglaterra, una potencia mundial futbolistica, y con el resentimiento de la guerra de las malvinas...

no hacer comparaciones estúpidas diciendo que éste gol es mejor

[mafewo]

muchachos... no confundan exelencia con suerte!

Terrible defending

[fetfet13]

@lukejones1104 I think it was intentionally terrible!

[MrNadersharahily]

im a saudi 4EVER

[mejsjalv]

one of the underdogs from 1994!

Best goal: Saeed Owairan... basically an unknown player for the rest of the world

Most goals on a single match: Oleg Salenko, another rather unknown.

[toshibacoast]

I was 8 years old when I first watched this match, and by Allah, I had never forgotten this moment til this day. What a great goal!

[penyuwan]

It took him 13 sec to score this goal in the WC, & Messi didn't even get one in WC2010. lol

[biswadip69]

He had lesser control on the ball than maradona , as you can see in the last stages before he scored, and the quality of the opposition was poor compared to england.

[CroPETROforever]

to bad they lost 30-0 against germany 2002 LOL

[gts1300]

@CroPETROforever no, they didn't

[ahli24]

@CroPETROforever I think Argentina lost something like that to germany as well in 2010 LOL

[CroPETROforever]

@ahli24 yes it's true :) I was just joking... this is one of the greatest goal ever, that's for sure

[ferzao47]

@ahli24 I think your mom is a bitch

[ahli24]

@ferzao47 and I think you're gay and your asswhole is full of cum right now :)

[BurnRoddy]

No. They lost 8-0 and Germany only attacked the entire match because Saeed was not on that team, otherwise they would've lost 3-2 or even tied up the match and gone into penalties because this guy was so good you only had to give him the ball and let him do all the work so Germany would've defended a lot in that match.

[AL3NZY111]

Do you know why this goal is not the best because who scored the goal Arabic FIFA did not give the player the right

[Chitownboy1023]

lindo gol

[kdorg79]

That was certainly some goal. Too bad that Saeed did not do too much with his career after that.

[Jo0o0odie1995]

I miss the old Saudi Team :(

[xylfox]

No one attacked him seriously.One can speculate the Saudis bought agoal cause they are a pride nationand they wont present at least one goal instead a "x :0"

[xylfox]

Hm.Very "unlucky" defendors.Wont overrate this goal.Never heard of this player.When he was so good why did he never play in a great european club?????????

[Weakbody2]

@xylfox

Conditions weren't easy for Middle Eastern players. It was very difficult to secure a work permit. It was even more difficult to let their clubs, and the FA, to let them go. Today, some improvements have been made, but still a lot of obstacles are put in the way of these players, mainly by their clubs. Its quite common for a player to play his entire 20 year career here in just a single club.

[xylfox]

@Weakbody2 ^Thanks for your competent answer!!!One must always know te backgrounds.

[raleighgranprix]

This impressed the heck out of me when it happened, I always remembered it right off without seeing it for the first time on video. Hard to compare goals...

[Tokzi1]

Its quite unfortunate that this guy's goal is never mentioned as one of the best goals in world cup history. Bet if it was scored by some player from a 'well-recognized' country, we'd still be seeing the goal on TV today.

[agnosticprayer]

@Tokzi1 it once was voted 6th best goal ever in wc history so ...

[bradercudas]

this man deserves to be remembered as a world cup legend!

[sie7e]

better than maradona's goal? wtf?

[eXtectiX]

saudi arabien player, wow

[fleek164]

WOW...right up there with ryan giggs cutting to pieces of arsenal

[rokijuancito]

q grande al owairan, un jugadorazo!!, por otro lado rianse de las pelotudeses que habla una persona que no sabe nada de futbol...cesarcotera: jajaja yanki no creo q sea por el nombre, asi q con el tema de las crisis no esta salvado no? ademas un grande se mide por sus juveniles tambien y el potencial de sus jugadores. TARADO!! jaja tal vez sea del pais donde matan animales por diversion, aunque no se... genio OWAIRAN!!!

[Ibra9xD]

I think that this goal is better than Maradona's goal in Mexico and the others goals. This isn't the gratest gol just because his name is not popular, if this was a goal from Pelè or Maradona it would be 100% the best goal ever...

[almarri911]

viva saudi arabia

[CESARCOTERA]

maradona ? ahh el gordito que gano un mundial con la mano y q le dicen que hizo el mejor gol de los mundiales, argentina es el campeón mundial que grandes gobiernos les hicieron creer q eran grandes en futbol para taparles las crisis economicas. Un "grande" que no campeona hace 24 años.

[bloodasa]

@CESARCOTERA really?

[legrantibo]

Quel joueur ,j'avais jamais vu ce but,alors que je m'y connais pas mal en foot. un but heroique :) 

[armymenz]

how they can't see this player?

-because he is not european or american?

-because he is muslim?

a lot of excuses!!!

[fabre12torres]

@armymenz

Because you are a son of bitch

[armymenz]

@bofhd89o thank you brother

[rayanz90]

greatest goal of all time :)

[lui475]

saudi maradona

[wedwed19]

Oh lala

[suriadd]

how come they forgot this player and this goal ?

[thelegendaryred16]

@suriadd Because he wasn't European or South American :P

[altarazul2]

mucho menos publicitado pero mejor que el de Maradonna en mi opinión,

[jo0o0odie]

currently in Saudi Arabia we are not half good as this one.

i wish we can change >_<

[al3issa99]

@jo0o0odie i hope we do :( the youth program isnt that good right now too, but i know we can change

[panetero]

@jo0o0odie you can, man. i'm spanish, we've been trying to win the world cup for decades, because it's in our blood. our teams played a friendly match before the world cup and i gotta say that your team is hard to beat. you just have to be focused like that all the time, and have better attackers, to dominate the game when needed. greece won the eurocup with little quality, you can do the same with discipline. i mean...here in spain it's not something to be proud of...but there it is.

[8998rambo]

nice saudi

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

Damn, watching this goal sends chills down my spine, it is probably better than Maradona's solo goal at the 1986 World Cup

[GangstaDogg999]

@TheEazyDuzIt95 hmmmm

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

@GangstaDogg999

Why the fuck do you follow me through all these soccer videos just to question me?

[GangstaDogg999]

@TheEazyDuzIt95 check out dj penis for reral u will like him

[axaxa2008]

كبير كبير كبييييييييير ياعويران ..هدف لن يمحى من ذاكرة أي مشجع سعودي

كان الأخضر في القمة واليوم أصبح في القاع والسبب الواسطات والفساد الإداري في اتحاد الكرة :(

[cezekGTA]

manoh adoro o geito da arabia saudita joga sempre gostei deis dos treis anos pegava as toalhas escondido da minha mae e fasia q nem aqueles pano q eles poem na kbça :D saudi arabi wins

[MohammedUmar25]

Top goal! Mashallah! :D Saudi Wahid

[pedrobrache06]

Amazing goal... It is really better than Maradona's goal in Mexico 86. This goal should be the greatest of all in football / soccer history.

[a7la8rshaswad]

@pedrobrache06 what makes you so sure Mr. Know it all

[pedrobrache06]

@a7la8rshaswad That's my opinion.

[pedrobrache06]

@pedrobrache06 SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

[RifatDraga08]

@pedrobrache06

The difference is that al-Said had Uwairan has much lucky when you especially at the last player of belgien who didnt get the ball very unlucky!

[BaphoMETProduction]

@pedrobrache06 JAJAJAJAJAJJAAJAJAJAJAJAJJA your jokes are very good, Maradona is the best player and he scored the best goal in history

[pedrobrache06]

@BaphoMETProduction In my opinion, this one was greater than Maradona's.

[993mile]

great goal ever

[ezzoshani]

I would say neither Alowairan nor Yousef were the best football players in Saudi. Yet, they were super good!

However. do you see the guy who appears in the middle of the court at 0:03?

look how he disturbed the opponent team and how he created spaces for the scorer,

that guy is the best Saudi player, that player is Majid Abdullah

cheers

[enzo454]

el maradona del desierto, buen gol de owairan

[bacchex]

El Mejor Gol del Mundial al Mejor Arquero del Mundial...

[nazikon]

this was the 6th best goal of the century..

[7Ftooo]

noway Al Owairan not the greatest saudi player ! although this goal is very great

The greatest saudi player is Yusef .. look at this's video about him watch?v=bllyzeT6W90

Yusef is the best ..by the way i'm Saudi

[7Ftooo]

watch?v=bllyzeT6W90

[rezeve69]

That. Was. Fucking. Superb!

[socceric89]

how come no one ever mentions this goal? cuz the dude's from saudi arabia. guy was brilliant!

[rahmannoor]

@socceric89

No one ever mentioned it?

Dude, this is officially ranked as one of the greatest goals ever!

[socceric89]

@rahmannoor

it's just not recognized as great as maradona's goal and such

[williamwalterwilson]

este es uno de los mejores goles que vi de todos los mundiales aparte de maradona por supuesto

[FCB1992ify]

better than maradonna ^^

[guiqui5]

@FCB1992ify way better than maradona.

[KarasuNoGoh]

Maradonian goal.

[Doukhyat]

sorry, I forget the prince of Youngs "Faisal Bin Fahad" God bless him

[Doukhyat]

I wish these days come back, I think we will got the cup if we still have Thaniyan and Al-/hirifi and the rest.

[gakgok]

This now consider as the 2nd best goal in Worldcup "overall"

that's Great man!

[maovandamme]

el maradona del desierto

[shmookins]

Probably one of the best West Asian goals in FIFA history.

[denhhh]

este si que es el mejor gol y los che inflan al que hizo el gol con la mano

puf

[jineeshpr]

one of the best goals in the world. But whenever i see best goals comipilation, i see this missing out. Don't know why

[NashDeel]

@jineeshpr No mate, it's ranked officially the 3rd best goal in FIFA world cup of all times after Maradona and Pele.

[tarab99]

The most beautiful goal I've seen in my life, the Saudis know how to play football

[oimpiedoso]

the greatest WC goal of all times. from brazil

[a7mad316]

great stamina, speed and reactions..

saeed alowairan is one of the best saudi players..

[tiriaanrii]

fantastic!

[luisdealejandro]

mejor que el de maradona!

[gustavors]

Jajajaja y nadie se acuerda del pobre Al Owairán, y fue mejor que el de Maradó

[cararosalie]

I had seats right behind the goal where this was scored. But... I took the wrong train and arrived at the game right after the goal was scored.

[khzocszter]

Goal!!!!!!!! fantastic

[cifra2]

I'll never forget this goal... it was the best moment, to me, of the whole championship... David vs. Goliath...

[Mystipaoniz]

Belgium rules -.- :-p

Eldictator...yes ^^ but don't forget this was Belgium :-p

Great goal anyway ;-)

[alshehri077]

wonderful goal

[liujie721]

It is the first goal I have ever seen in a football match. I can not forget world cup 1994.

[aergdr]

It's funny how i've never heard of this goal until now...ppl talk about Maradona, Pele etc...THIS GOAL SHOULD BE CALLED THE BEST GOAL EVA!!!....that is until I score a betta goal one day...lol

[7arboosh01]

as long as the world considers maradona's goal as the best goal in history , we arabs have our own best goal in history ,and this is it !

[dogsofwar007]

@7arboosh01 good goal ... poor human rights record

[gilberthology]

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about the 94' World Cup is this wonderful goal. Probably the greatest moment of the tournament, along with Salenko's five goals against Cameroon.

[amridivo]

can u tell me please...

"who is the commentator ?"

[MrLuvlyJubly]

@amridivo John Helm .ITV

[amridivo]

@MrLuvlyJubly thanks a lot...

[mvkwxx]

Лучший чемпионат мира после Мексики-86, супер гол, тогда у Арабов была классная команда..Незабываемая победа России 6-1 над Камеруном, очень красивые поля, жаркое лето. 1994 год...супер..

[ZXReaperZX]

As much as I hate KSA, this is one great goal.

[sa99miy]

@ZXReaperZX and why do u hate KSA ?

[ZXReaperZX]

@sa99miy

I have my reasons. Don't feel like posting them, but they're quote obvious anyway.

[o0mohammed0o]

wooooooooooow

Man this goal is one of the greatest goals in the World Cup

Thanl you ..

[RyOOOd987]

Reminder: - This is the best goal in the 1994 World Cup

And the best player in Asia in 1994

[Krogius2002]

Un golazo !!

En Argentina nadie lo recuerda ....

[topotamolder]

Que pena da el futbol, si Messi o Maradona meten este gol , seguro que lo ponian entre los 10 mejores goles de la historia, pero como lo marca un tal Owairan de Arabia Saudi, pues se queda en el olvido....

[samiali988]

@topotamolder can you say that in english, please! cause i'm curious to know what you're saying about us.

[Isalasso]

@samiali988 Hi, samiali...what topotamolder said was. "Shame on soccer. If Messi or Maradona score a goal like that, it would be marked as one of the best 10 of the history; but it was scored by Owairan, from Saudi Arabia, so it is forgotten." .... .And i agree with him, but only in a partial way... for people like us, who have seen several WC, we know that this goal is one of the best individual actions in the WC history. Regards!

[topotamolder]

@samiali988 Sure, I was saying that if Messi or Maradona had scored this goal, it would probably be one of the top 10 goals ever, but sadly the scorer is a guy named Owairan from Saudi Arabia... that sucks, but I remember this goal as one of the best I've ever seen in a world cup

[fahd068]

I hope to Tqra about Islam well and I repeat the word Ezhaa to be the finest in our ways

[TeReffleese32]

lolwants to find a man who will share a good time with me

[hareedi1]

The Maradona of the Arabs . Asian Player of the Year ( 1994 )

[darwinjvega]

MEJOR QUE EL DE MARADONA DIGAN LO QUE DIGAN, @shodero :) FUE MUCHO MEJOR

[Chus2311]

k golazo mejor que el de owen y no se si mejor que el de maradona, yo creo que =

[Jazksa]

what a goal !!

Saed was really great player simply the best of Asia

[tomyrosicky]

Este gol es mejor que el de Maradona aunque esta muchacho no le puede lustrar los zapatos al diego.

[AV8Harrier]

Es muy claro que nosotros creemos que proviene de los miles de kilómetros para escapar de la pobreza y el pulido de los zapatos hay maestros....

[shodero]

mejor en qué aspecto? es bastante parecido, pero si te fijás tuvo un poco de suerte porque hubo dos rebotes en la jugada, y además le hizo este gol a BÉLGICA (???) en la primera ronda del mundial, no como Maradona que se lo hizo a Inglaterra, el país que inventó el fútbol, en la semifinal, y encima habiendo recientemente terminado la guerra de las Malvinas. Hay que tener perspectiva hombre

[PANORAMAPEPSI]

this is the best goal i have seen ,, Saeed you are the BEST ............

[Hussain00007]

@EUROalexxx shut the fuck up you dirty shiter.

[saeed98]

Wow Amazing goal.

World cup is missing Saudi Team this 2010

[7eeeeel]

wooooow

[eldictator1]

if this was brazil or argentina with a kaka or messi goal etc it would be lauded as he greatest goal of all time,

[alabbas73]

I'm afraid you are absolutely right!

"Media" is a key success factor in this game :(

Thanks for your valuable comment :)

[blueluny]

@eldictator1 hes a little lucky at teh end and theres some poor defending though....a great counter yes, but not brilliant......ima chelsea fan but would agree that THE goal by giggs for man utd is one of the best ever

[ricknor]

@eldictator1 Agreed, and I'm brazilian.

[cortaza1234]

@eldictator1 it's a great goal... but the goal that maradona made was in world cup and vs England... there's no comparison

[mrmmoomm1]

Beautiful time of the Saudi soccer

But with the Sultan, would not return this team

[thisizhegznogz]

yeah.

i remember that goal.

one of the best solo run goals eva for sure.

[xShehryx]

shut the fuckinng up

this is the best goal ever

so stfu.

[abdullah1245]

the beast goal i ve ever seen

wooow

[deadoverisrael]

BEST GOAL IN THE WORLD

[diallofred]

What on earth was that last defender in the box doing? The ball came right to him and he still missed it!
