Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Johnny Haynes took over from the dropped Ronnie Clayton as captain. The rain
in Spain was mainly on the pitch and England got bogged down in a midfield
that was a mass of mud. Alfredo di Stefano played a reluctant part in the
Spanish victory. He wanted to save himself for Real Madrid's European Cup
Final date with Eintracht Frankfurt at Hampden Park four days later. Alfredo
had a long-running argument on the touchline with the Spanish coaches as he
begged to come off, but was he persuaded to play on and help Martinez clinch
victory with two goals in the last ten minutes. Di Stefano and his colleagues
Gento and del Sol then flew off to Glasgow, Lanarkshire to join the Real team that conjured
one of the great performances of all time in their 7-3 victory over Eintracht.
With Jimmy Armfield playing magnificently to control Gento, England gave as
good as they got for the first hour, but one of the youngest teams ever picked
by Walter Winterbottom and the selectors ran out of steam in the heavy
conditions. Spain bossed the last third of the game, and tantalised and teased
England with their keep-ball tactics before striking forward to snatch two
goals in the last ten minutes.
