In the 1987 European Cup final, who scored Porto's back-heel equalizer?

Rabah Madjer scored Porto’s back-heel equalizer in the 1987 European Cup final.

Porto trailed Bayern Munich 1–0 in Vienna on 27 May 1987 after Ludwig Kögl’s first-half header. Early in the second half, Madjer produced the final’s signature moment: he met a cross near the goal and flicked the ball past goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff with a back-heel, bringing Porto level.

The goal changed the match. Porto completed its comeback when substitute Juary scored a volley late in the game, securing a 2–1 victory and the club’s first European Cup. Madjer’s inventive finish became one of the most memorable goals in the tournament’s history and helped establish his place among Porto’s iconic European players.

The alternatives can cause confusion because Fernando Gomes was Porto’s prominent striker but missed the final through injury, while Juary scored the winning goal. Paulo Futre also featured in Porto’s attack, but Madjer was the player responsible for the equalizer.
