    Match Report by Norman Giller

An experimental England team featuring new caps Nigel Clough and John Fashanu struggled to break down a resolute Chilean defence. There was a graveyard atmosphere at Wembley for this Rous Cup match, with a tube train strike helping to keep the attendance down to an all-time low for an England international at Wembley of just 15,628. Fashanu, the first Wimbledon player to be capped by England, limped off after seventy minutes. His only other England appearance would last just thirty minutes.  Nigel Clough's call up completed the first father-and-son double act -following his two-cap dad, Brian - since George Eastham followed George senior into the England team. Paul Parker played his first full game.
