England took
an important step towards qualifying for the final stages of the European
championship finals with this narrow win over the Danes. Kevin Keegan,
shaking off the handicap of a recurring leg injury, scored the only goal
of the match with a left foot volley after a driving right wing run by
Phil Neal in the eighteenth minute. Ron Greenwood settled for a 4-3-3
formation, with Terry McDermott joining Ray Wilkins and Trevor Brooking in
midfield. They narrowly won the struggle for midfield supremacy, and
Brooking found time to push forward to support Keegan in his bustling,
trademark runs that made him a constant menace to the Danish defence. The
Danes had an exceptional player in Barcelona forward Allan Simonsen, but
luckily for England his team-mates were not in the same class and
squandered several chances that he created.
