Match Report

Anxiety
anchored the England forwards in front of goal, and they missed vital
chances that could have clinched victory in this World Cup qualifying
match against their closest group rivals. England's defence generally
dominated the Rumanian forwards, but there was one amazing escape when
Peter Shilton's feet slipped from under him as he reached for a dipping
header from Balaci during a rare raid in the thirty-third minute. Shilton
was lying on the ground as he scooped the ball clear with two Rumanian
forwards bearing down on him. England's players went off to the sound of
boos and jeers, and with their prospects of qualifying for the World Cup
looking remote. They had only away games against Switzerland and Hungary
in which to salvage a place in the finals.
