Portugal needed to win to qualify for the World Cup finals ahead of England,
but their hopes died as John Connelly and Ray Pointer scored a goal each
inside the first 10 minutes. Eusebio, the new shooting star of Benfica,
rattled the England woodwork with two shots in the closing stages. The near
100,000 crowd produced what were record Wembley receipts of £52,500. England
had booked their tickets to the World Cup finals in Chile, but they had lost
much of the power and rhythm that had made them such an impressive force six
months earlier, and the selectors again started to tinker with the team. Jimmy
Greaves, having a miserable time with AC Milan in Italy, was notable by his
absence.
