FOR the second time in five days, England were totally outclassed by a South American team. For the second leg of their summer tour they journeyed to the ancient city of Lima to take on Peru and ended up well beaten.

England made only one change from the side beaten in Brazil, bringing in Chelsea's prolific goalscorer Jimmy Greaves for his first game and leaving out Peter Broadbent. They wore unfamiliar blue shirts and white shorts and kicked off facing a bright sun.

Bobby Charlton was soon hitting a screamer over the bar, but Peru gradually settled and began to take a firm grip on the play. Eddie Hopkinson was tested by Loyaza and Seminario before the latter opened the scoring after ten minutes.

If Julinho had been Brazil's star, the Seminario was certainly Peru's, and the tricky winger's goal was a real beauty, a 20-yard cracker, a-la-Charlton!

Peru went close on several other occasions and Carrasco wasted a fine opportunity by shooting wildly over the bar from five yards. But with five minutes to go before half-time, Peru scored a second goal. This time Hopkinson failed to hold a fierce drive from Loyaza and when the ball ran free, Seminario nipped in to flick it into the net.

That goal did stir some response from England after the break. Ron Flowers hit a shot against a post and Charlton saw an effort cleared off the line. Although Peru were quicker and passed more accurately, the extra England determination brought its reward when Greaves pulled a goal back. He combined well with Johnny Haynes and Charlton before shooting in off the post to beat Arca. It was some consolation that Greaves had scored the goal which emphasised a promising debut.

However, it was not too long before Peru had regained the initiative and in fact they were soon dominating play against the tiring England players. Seminario continued to be the danger man and twice he almost scored again.

Hopkinson did very well on the second occasion, just getting his fingertips to the ball. Shortly afterwards, though, the goalkeeper was powerless to stop Joya from making it 3-1 following a goalmouth scramble.

With ten minutes to go the win was completed when Peru added a fourth goal through the ever-dangerous Seminario. He clinched a brilliant hat-trick with another good shot past the bewildered Hopkinson.
  

Jimmy Greaves, nineteen-year-old idol of Chelsea, arrived on the international stage with a neatly taken second-half goal, drawing the goalkeeper off his line before slotting a left foot shot just inside a post. But it was the only bright moment in a miserable England performance. The Peruvians, leading 2-0 at half-time, were helped to four goals by mistakes from a strangely lethargic England defence which had no answer to the thrusting left wing runs of Seminario, who helped himself to a hat-trick.
  

For the second match of the tour Greaves replaced Broadbent and it was he who scored England's only goal. There was little else to enthuse over in the match from England's point of view, for they were again outplayed by fine South American ball-control and accurate passing. After 10 minutes Seminario put Peru ahead, and the same player scored again shortly before halftime after Hopkinson failed to hold a shot from Loyaza. England improved in the second half, Greaves scoring his goal from Haynes's pass. Hopes of a revival were dashed when Joya scored following a defensive mistake by England, and Seminario near the end completed his hat-trick, an achievement that was thoroughly deserved. Loyaza, Andrade, and Fernandez also played very well. Only Clayton and Greaves could be reckoned as England successes.
