Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
A goal apiece in each half by
Paul Mariner and Bryan Robson gave England their sixth victory in six
months and sent them into the World Cup finals in a quietly confident
mood. The match was staged to celebrate Finland's seventy-fifth
anniversary, and the outplayed Finns had the consolation of a penalty goal
in the eightieth minute. It was recalled that in 1966 England beat
Finland in Helsinki in their final warm-up match before the World Cup
finals. With Kevin Keegan back after injury, England went to Spain in
buoyant mood.
