Quite simply put, yes this goal scored by Saeed Al Owairan for Saudi Arabia was better than Diego Maradona's goal against England. The sad fact however, and this does sadden me, is that Maradona was renowned as a superstar with a huge reputation whereas Al Owairan was a complete unknown. It appears that times have not changed much after all these years. What may be argued is that Maradona faced a stronger defence in England but in terms of world rankings, Argentina was then and still remain higher ranked. Saudi Arabia on the other hand were seen has major underdogs at World Cup 94 and Owairan's superb solo goal was scored against much higher ranked opponents in Belgium.
