Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Alan Ball was rewarded for one of his
typically non-stop performances with two goals in appalling conditions in
rain-lashed Brussels. Geoff Hurst scored the other goal against a
punchless Belgium team which had Paul van Himst as their one world-class
player. Chelsea's graceful but unpredictable Peter Osgood made a quietly
satisfactory debut in snowy conditions. The game was won by England in
midfield, where Ball and Peters were outstanding on a quagmire of a pitch
that made every step a challenge.
