This documentary was one of the first 30 for 30s. It was also one of the best, along with The U, Pony Excess about SMU, and the Best That Never Was about Marcus Dupree. It explains a lot about the goal, why he was murdered, but really only glosses over two things: first that the USA had quietly built a legitimately good team. Certainly far better than anyone could have expected. Harkes was one of the better 6s in England at that point and it showed. Even if there isn’t an own goal, the cross likely reaches Earnie Stewart who will beat an out of position keeper near post. Second, people kind of think that Escobar getting shot was some kind of random madman raging of Pablo Escobar after that fact. He watched the game, Andres Cantor shouted Gol 6 times after the own goal so he called in a flunky to go shoot the guy 6 times. But kidknapping and assaination threats against soccer players was common in that era across Latin American soccer in the narco countries. Panama, Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Honduras, etc. One of the reasons Colombia was so good was of kidnapping motivation. Another cartel kidknapped one of the MF baby and promised safe return if they beat Argentina in qualifying. Argentina was 10 times more feared then as now, even with Messi. Maradona in 93 was not in his prime but they had the best back line in the business and three other forwards who could start on any team. They were loaded and tourney favorites. Colombia not only beat them, they tore their arms off and clubbed them to death. It was like 6-1. In addition to that kidnapping threat, the strikers baby was kidnapped by another cartel besides Pablo the night before the match against the USA. He eventually had to pledge his entire club salary to get the kid back iirc. Loads of other stories like that, particularly at the lower divisions of club soccer where cartels owned the teams.
