    Match Report by Mike Payne

    Match Report by Norman Giller

The 'Land of Hope and Glory' anthem gave way to boos and jeers as England struggled to make any impact against a disciplined and resolute Portuguese defence. Terry Cooper, recalled by his old Leeds United club boss after three years in the international wilderness, broke down with a nagging injury and Colin Todd played exceptionally well as a make-shift left-back. There was a lack of understanding between the midfield and the front line, with a procession of passes going astray on the rain-sodden surface. Don Revie was already finding the England hot seat uncomfortable as he tried to get accustomed to not having day-to-day involvement with his players.
