Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England's unbeaten record against the
Germans, which had lasted twelve matches and sixty-seven years, ended when
Brian Labone deflected a Franz Beckenbauer shot wide of Gordon Banks eight
minutes from the end. It was a goal that silenced the jeers of the German
spectators who had been barracking their own team as England made and
missed a string of chances. This was only England's third defeat in their
last forty matches, and they headed for their European Nations Cup
semi-final against Yugoslavia in Florence in good spirit.
