    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

England won the match and clinched a place in the European championship finals with a dazzling first-half display that produced goals in the opening twenty-five minutes from Peter Beardsley, John Barnes, Bryan Robson and Tony Adams. The Yugoslavs could not cope with the pace and power of the England attack, and were forced to pull attacking players back in a bid to shore up their beleaguered defence. England were coasting to victory when Katanec scored a consolation goal in the eightieth minute. Bobby Robson summed up the performance when he said: 'I am proud to have a long association with England going back to my playing days, and I cannot recall a more emphatic first-half display overseas. We looked unbeatable in that opening half hour.'
