Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
A mix-up between
goalkeeper Ron Springett and Bobby Robson let Portugal in for the first goal
of the match just after half-time in a World Cup qualifier played in extreme
heat. Ron Flowers crashed in the vital equalizer nine minutes from the end
with a free-kick that took a slight deflection on the way into the net. The
Portuguese side was adorned with eight players from the exceptional Benfica
team, including magnificent goalkeeper Costa Pereira who pulled off a series
of stunning saves to prevent England from getting the victory their more
enterprising play deserved. Skipper Johnny Haynes was once again the main
inspiration with his precise passes from a midfield command post.
