Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Kevin Keegan was outstanding
as England got off to a flying start in their 1978 World Cup campaign. He
laid on the first goal in the fourteenth minute for Stuart Pearson, who
returned the compliment after the Finns had forced an equaliser against
the run of play. Mike Channon made it 3-1 in the fifty-seventh minute and
Keegan wrapped it up three minutes later with a superb solo goal. The only
down side of the performance was that England missed a procession of
simple chances against the team that were the whipping boys of their
group.
