Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Tom Finney coolly
placed a penalty wide of Russian goalkeeper Lev Yashin six minutes from
the final whistle to give England a draw in their opening World Cup match
against a Russian team much changed from the side they had played in
Moscow the previous month. The Russians had led 2-0 with twenty minutes to
go, and it looked all over for England until Bryan Douglas created a goal
for Derek Kevan. After Finney had scored the equaliser from the penalty
spot, a furious
Lev Yashin got hold of the referee and spun him around like a top.
Incredibly, he was allowed to stay on the field. He was protesting over the
award of the penalty because he considered the tackle had been made outside
the box. In the closing moments a crushing tackle on Finney damaged his knee
and put him out of the rest of the tournament.
