Assist: Michael Owen. "The ball breaks to Owen on the left of the Argentinian box. The Liverpool striker shifts the ball from his left to right foot and nudges it past Pochettino, who brings him down with an outstretched leg [42:13]. It's a penalty! Beckham steps up to take the kick and sends it middle-right towards the goal. Cavallero doesn't move, and the ball sails into the net."David Beckham7th of 17 goals.

Notes
Player InjuryHargreaves injuries his left knee when Michael Owen accidentally runs into him when they are both trying to tackle Zanetti [3:19]. Hargreaves receives treatment off the pitch and returns after a few minutes [5:40] but has to come off in the 19th minute and plays no further part in the tournament. His place is taken Trevor Sinclair.
