    Match Report by Norman Giller

England went a goal down in their final European championship qualifier to a sixteenth minute free-kick by Rodrigues that swerved vićiously on its way into the net from twenty five yards. The Portuguese missed two easy chances before Mike Channon equalised with a free-kick that deflected into the net off a defender three minutes before half-time. England needed a victory to boost their fading chances of reaching the European quarter-finals, but they kept running blindly into an off-side trap. The draw left the Czechs needing only a draw in Cyprus to qualify ahead of England. They beat the Cypriots in a canter and went on to win the championship. England were left kicking themselves.
