Match Report
by Norman Giller |
England were trailing 3-2 with 90
seconds to go when Joe Baker crashed the ball against the bar, and Johnny
Haynes swept in the rebound. Straight from the kick-off an England attack
ended with Baker again heading against the bar but this time there was
nobody able to turn the ball back into the goal. An England victory would
have been an injustice to a Yugoslavian side that played
some
excellent football, with two-goal Galic continually turning the defence inside
out. England led 2-1 after 48 minutes following neatly taken goals either side
of half-time by Bryan Douglas and Jimmy Greaves after the Yugoslavs had taken
a 30th minute lead. It was a tough debut for the latest candidate
for the No. 5 shirt, Peter Swan of Sheffield Wednesday. He replaced Bill
Slater, who heard that he was dropped just a few minutes before being told
that he had been elected 'Footballer of the Year'. Swan was stranded as
Yugoslavia equalised on the hour, and a clever back heel by Galic gave Kosctic
the chance to make it 3-2 with 10 minutes to go. This set up the dramatic
climax to one of the most exciting international matches witnessed at Wembley.
