The final whistle blew moments after Neal entered the field as a

Match Report

 England had
a dream send-off to the World Cup finals when Bryan Robson scored one of
the fastest goals in the history of the tournament. He struck in just
twenty-seven seconds, lashing the ball left footed past a startled French
goalkeeper after Terry Butcher had headed on a quickly taken Steve Coppell
throw from the right. France recovered from this shattering start to
equalise after twenty-five minutes, but England raised their pace despite
scorching heat in the second-half and the switch by Ron Greenwood of
Graham Rix to a left-sided role in midfield proved a tactical
masterstroke. Rix, playing in place of the injured Trevor Brooking,
enjoyed his new freedom and England took full control when Robson headed
in his second goal in the sixty-seventh minute. Paul Mariner underlined
England's supremacy with a close-range shot following a defensive mix-up.
It was the fifth successive international in which the Ipswich striker had
found the net. This was an encouraging start for an England team missing
the input of their most famous player, Kevin Keegan, who was suffering a
recurrence of an old back injury.
