Today's top '88 moment is Netherlands forward Marco Van Basten's volley in the semi-final against Germany. 

It was 1-1, and in the 88th minute a striker for the Netherlands got a ball through from midfielder Jan Wouters, leaving Van Basten open to slide towards the ball and send it past German goalkeeper Eike Immel into the left bottom corner, giving the team a last-minute ticket to the final.
