Match Report
by Norman Giller |
This was disastrous defeat for England in a vital World Cup qualifying
match. Poland went ahead in the ninth minute when a Lubanski shot
found its way into the net off the foot of Bobby Moore and the arm of
Peter Shilton. Early in the second-half Moore made an uncharacteristic
hash of a tackle against Lubanski, who raced clear to make it 2-0. To
compound England's misery Alan Ball was sent off following an angry clash
twelve minutes from the final whistle. Once again, Sir Alf's
poor understanding of the substitute system let down England. It screamed
out for attacking players to be sent on when the Poles went two goals
clear, but Ramsey stuck with his rigid 4-4-2 formation that meant the game
became bogged down in midfield as Poland chose to close up shop and hang
on to their lead.
