Match Report

|
As in Madrid five months earlier, torrential rain turned the pitch into a
miniature lake, but this time it was England who kept their feet better
against an exceptional Spanish team that included their big shots di Stefano,
del Sol, Suarez and Gento. England started and finished their victory romp
with classic goals, the first from Jimmy Greaves and the second from Bobby
Smith, who delicately chipped the ball over the goalkeeper's head from 20
yards to break the Spanish spirit after they had twice battled back to
equalize. One of the outstanding features of the game - as in Madrid - was
the duel between Armfield and Gento, with the Blackpool full-back emerging
triumphant against one of the greatest wingers of all time. Remembering how
Spain had tried to humble them in Madrid with keep-ball passing, England gave
the Spaniards a taste of their own medicine and had the Wembley spectators
roaring as they stitched together dozens of passes.
