For U.S. Soccer, it was the shot heard round the world.

In a qualifying match played 25 years ago today, the U.S. men’s national team needed to beat Trinidad and Tobago to secure a spot in the 1990 World Cup. The U.S. hadn’t qualified for a World Cup since 1950, and Trindad and Tobago was favored heading into the match.

A Paul Caligiuri left-footed wonder strike (you can watch at the 2:40 mark above) gave the U.S. a one-goal lead, and the team’s defense, anchored by goalkeeper Tony Meolia, held on from there.

The video is a neat trip back in time. There’s a young Bob Ley introducing the highlights, and a young JP Dellacamera announcing the game. There’s Tony Meola in a white baseball hat and eye black for the second half. There are mullets. Lots and lots of mullets.

It’s a huge moment in U.S. soccer history, and a great way to look back and see how far the nation’s soccer program has come in these 25 years.
