substitute notes:

The half-time substitutions of Trevor Sinton and Andy Sinton by Neil Webb and David Rocastle make them the 399th and 400th to be used by England.

team notes:

It is generally recognised that if Lineker had converted his penalty, he would have equalled Bobby Charlton's record tally on 49. However, the same could be said of all of his mis-placed shots and those that were saved.

    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    MMatch Report by Norman Giller

Gary Lineker, of all people, missed an early penalty and the chance to equal Bobby Charlton's record, and it was an inexperienced Brazilian team that took the lead in the twentieth minute through Bebeto after a mistake by Gary Stevens. David Platt snatched an equaliser ten minutes after half-time as England once again came from behind to save a game.  It was an experimental Brazilian team, rebuilding ready for a challenge for the 1994 World Cup. There was sufficient evidence to suggest they would once again be a force to be reckoned with in the United States, as would England  - surely?
