Zidane’s performance in the final is particularly memorable because he scored two goals, both headers, which was not considered his specialty. These crucial goals came from corner kicks. He opened the scoring in the 27th minute by heading in a corner kick, and then added another header goal just before halftime, giving France a 2-0 lead.
Zidane continued to control the midfield and influence the game in the second half, and France went on to win the match 3-0, with Emmanuel Petit scoring the final goal in stoppage time. Zidane’s outstanding performance earned him the man of the match award. His contribution in the final cemented his status as a football legend and made him a national hero in France.
