Match Report

The scoreline flattered England.
Goalkeeper Gordon Banks was under long periods of pressure after Eric
McMordie had cancelled out an early Martin Peters goal. With Newton doing
an excellent containing job on George Best, England began to gain command.
Goals from Francis Lee and Geoff Hurst wrapped up the game for them but
not before Banks had made two splendid saves against the always dangerous
Derek Dougan. Live television cut the attendance to 23,000.
