Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Bolton centre-forward Nat
Lofthouse announced his arrival on the international stage with two goals.
It was the first time in post-war football that England had gone into
action without either Matthews or Finney. Leslie Compton deflected the
ball into his own net, and Yugoslavia forced a late equaliser to become
the first Continental side to avoid defeat in England in a full
international. Lofty scored his two goals in a five minute spell midway
through the first-half. The Yugoslavs fought back bravely and their
equalizer in the 72nd
minute was reward for a battling performance against an England team that
wasted at least five good scoring chances. Their goalkeeper, Beara, a former
ball dancer, pulled off three blinding saves as England stormed forward in
vain search of a late winner.
