Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
A depressing start to the World Cup. Ron Springett was deceived by the flight
of a harmless-looking 15-yard shot from Tichy in the 20th minute, and from
then on England were struggling to get into the game on a wet, slippery
surface that made every step a challenge. Fifteen minutes into the second-half
a goal-bound Greaves shot was handled on the line, and Ron Flowers scored from
the penalty spot. Flowers was then reluctantly responsible for Hungary's
winning goal.
He slipped on the
soaked turf and left Florian Albert free to race away and score with a low
shot. The form England had flourished 13 months earlier in the 9-3 slaughter
of Scotland seemed light years away.
