The Miracle of Dammam also known as The Dammam Miracle was the name given to the result of a quarter-final football match between the Nigerian U-20 football team and the USSR U-20 football team at the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia which the Nigerian U-20 team went on to win on penalties.

The match created a footballing record as Nigeria became the first team to come back from four goals down to equalize and then go on to win a FIFA World Cup match at any level.

February 15, 1989.
I remember I left shortly after half time when we were already 4 goals down. Sat on d corridor gisting with friends when I was told we had scored one. I think Mutiu Adepoju. Chris Ohenhen scored another. Both free kicks...I became interested when I heard goal number 3. When it was 4-4 I ran up and down the street like we had already won d match.

We were mad football fans those days. Crazy kids.

Mad football family we were.
My dad was travelling and listening to radio Nigeria commentariea of the match. When we equalised, he stopped right in the middle of the road and celebrated. Had a minor accident but who cared? Other drivers joined him in the celebration in the middle of the road.

Shortly after half time, didnt say we were 4 goals down at half time.

Maybe I should hv wrote "shortly into d 2nd half".

The Miracle of Damman was a record. No team had ever made a come back from 4 goals down in a FIFA organised tournament to win the match.
