Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Mark Wright's first goal in
international football catapulted England into the second phase of World
Cup '90 and slammed shut the door on an Egyptian team that got the
desserts their negative approach deserved. Egypt played with just the one
ambition of stopping England from scoring, and they tried to
strangle the life out of the game with aggravating time-wasting tactics.
England were reduced to ten men when Wright scored his dramatic goal in
the fifty-ninth minute. Des Walker was lying on the perimeter of the pitch
having treatment to a leg injury when England were awarded a free kick out
near the left touchline midway into Egypt's half. Paul Gascoigne floated a
high kick tantalisingly into the packed Egyptian penalty area. It hung
long enough in the air to tempt goalkeeper Ahmed Shubeir off his line, and
he was stranded as the tall figure of Wright rose above all those around
him. He connected with a glancing header and the ball flicked into the net
off defender Hesham Yakan.
