  England came 
	  back from the dead to clinch a place in the World Cup finals with this 
	  nervously constructed victory over Hungary. The door to the finals in 
	  Spain was re-opened by group favourites Rumania making a mess of their 
	  final qualifying match, and England needed only a point against Hungary to 
	  book their tickets. Paul Mariner scored the vital match-winning goal in 
	  the sixteenth minute, scrambling the ball into the net after a mishit shot 
	  by Trevor Brooking had confused the Hungarian defenders. Hungary were 
	  already assured of their place in the finals, and were content to 
	  concentrate on defence and they looked in danger of conceding a second 
	  goal only in the final moments when Tony Morley, making his debut as a 
	  substitute, had his shot well saved by goalkeeper Meszaros.  Rumours 
	  of the death of English football were greatly exaggerated.
