    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Alan Ball scored his first goal in international football and John Connelly snatched a seventy-fifth minute winner in a game in which the mudheap of a pitch got the better of most of the players. Nobby Stiles lost his contact lenses and a special lubricant had to be flown in from London on match day so that he could wear a spare pair. He and Ball dominated the midfield with their combination of high energy and fierce competitive spirit that would in today's non-contact game have generated a rash of red cards. The Swedish goal came following a rare mistake by Bobby Moore when he lost control of the ball in the treacherous conditions. England has finished their summer tour without defeat, and more people started to come round to the Ramsey convićtion that England really could win the World Cup.
