The legend of Milan and Italian football Alessandro Costacurta admitted - there was a penalty for Bulgaria in the semi-final of the World Cup in the USA in 1994, BNR reported.
In the match in question at "Giants Stadium" in New Jersey, our team lost 1:2 after a goal by Hristo Stoichkov and two by Roberto Baggio.
However, the Bulgarians had claims for two uncalled penalties, and the one Costacurta is talking about was in the middle of the second half, when Yordan Lechkov brought Emil Kostadinov into the penalty area, and Costacurta played with his hand and prevented the danger.
The seven-time champion of Italy with Milan is in Bulgaria, where a partnership agreement was signed between a Bulgarian betting company and the Italian giant.
