Match Report

|
Bobby Charlton crashed the ball into
the net from a short free-kick taken by Martin Peters to equal the 44-goal
England record held by Jimmy Greaves. Spain threatened to snatch a last
minute equaliser in this first leg European championship quarter-final
tie, but Banks pulled off a spectacular save from a lightning back heel by
Amancio. The Spaniards played a cautious defensive game, putting
their faith in a victory in the second leg in Madrid.

 Source Notes |
"When Eire beat Czechoslovakia last year,
thereby allowing Spain to advance to the quarter-finals of the European
Football Championship, the grateful Spaniards are reputed to have sent the
Irish a case of sherry. After the draw for the round had been made in
Paris yesterday Spanish feelings may not have been quite so sanguine. For
depending on the outcome of the International at Hampden Park next month
Spain will play Scotland or England. England, who lead by a point in the
home championship, need only a draw to qualify; Scotland must win, which
gives added point to their meeting on February 24. The draw is:-Scotland
or England v, Spain; France v. Yugoslavia; Hungary v. Russia; Bulgaria v.
Italy. Ties, decided on a home-and-away basis, must be completed between
March 1 and May 15.
"There is, moreover, a considerable incentive
towards winning the quarter-final, for the successful country will have
for opponents in the semi-final round France or Yugoslavia, perhaps the
least strong of the six other countries to reach the present stage of the
competition. As a further inducement for Scotland to beat England and
Spain they have been nominated as second choice to hold the semi-finals
and final, which are all to be played in one country, in June. At the
moment these stages are to be decided in Italy, provided Italy are in the
semi-finals." - Wednesday,
17 January 1968, The Glasgow Herald.
"The Football
Association yesterday announced the dates on which England will meet Spain
in the quarter-finals of the European Championship if they get throug
against Scotland. They are:- Wednesday, April 3, at Wembley, and
Wednesday, May 8, in Spain." - Thursday, 15 February 1968,
