Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
 England's World Cup life was snuffed out by a Brazilian team minus injured Pele but with 'Little Bird' Garrincha at his bewildering best. The
ball-conjuring winger put Brazil in the lead 13 minutes before half-time when
he moved like a whippet to head in a Zagallo comer. England hit back with an
equalizer six minutes later, Gerry Hitchens sweeping the ball home after a
Jimmy Greaves header had hit the bar. Garrincha decided the match early in the
second-half. His powerful free-kick from 25 yards was too hot to handle for
Springett, and as he pushed the ball out Vava followed up to head it into the
net. Then Garrincha, the man with two left feet, sent a vićiously swerving
shot curling out of Springett's reach and into the roof of the net. England
played with pride and passion, but were simply outclassed by a team with all
the talents.
