The 'Butcher from Bilbao' Goikoetxea played the full match at the heart of the defence. The defeat mattered little in the end as all the side had to do was beat Malta in the final round of fixtures for a place at the Finals in France and they duly obliged winning 12-1 to qualify at the expense of Holland. The Athletic Club star had made his international debut in this year and only two months before this game had earned notoriety for a brutal foul that broke Diego Maradona's ankle.
