Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England were shaken by a second
minute penalty goal, but cancelled it out seven minutes later when John
Barnes guided the ball into the net. It took more than an hour for England
to find anything approaching fluency, and then they started to pound away
at the Greek defence until the inevitable goal came from Bryan Robson in
the seventy-ninth minute. England had clearly lost their pulling power
overseas. There were just 6,000 spectators in the huge Olympic Stadium.
Robson's goal was a collector's item, a magnificent volley after Lineker
had neatly nodded a John Barnes cross into his path.
