For the last match of the 1952 summer tour, England travelled to the beautiful city of Zürich. Here they gained another good result to round off a very successful trip.

On a sultry day, 32,000 people were present to see these two sides meet and they did not have to wait long for the first goal. This came in the 13th minute when new cap Ronnie Allen took a right-wing corner. The ball reached Jackie Sewell, who cleverly lobbed it over Preizz and into the Swiss net. That was the only goal of the first half and England, in control, looked in no mood to surrender their lead.

In fact, six minutes into the second period they increased that lead when Nat Lofthouse followed up his success in Vienna by number two.

To round off a competent display by England, the Bolton star added his second and England's third before the end just to emphasise the purple patch he was enjoying.
   

Billy Wright was credited with taking over the England caps record from Bob Crompton with this forty-third international appearance (although most record books give Crompton's old record as 41 caps). The Swiss were beaten by the same scoring combination that had won the match in Vienna three days earlier: Jackie Sewell one, Nat Lofthouse two. West Bromwich Albion's versatile forward Ronnie Allen won the first of his five caps, and gave a lively performance on the right wing.
    

The last match of the tour, at Zurich on May 28th, came as something of an anti-climax. The Swiss were not expected to show a very high standard, and though their forwards played well by approach work, they shot wide of goal. Neither did England produce their previous standard. Yet they won comfortably by 3 goals to 0: Sewell scored early in the first half; then a four-man move covering nearly the length of the field led to a goal by Lofthouse; and finally Lofthouse set the seal on the tour with the third just before the final whistle.
