Match Report

This
goalless and otherwise uneventful game will always be remembered for one
of the most fantastic saves ever witnessed at Wembley. Jamie Redknapp
fired in a snap shot, and everybody in the stadium looked on open mouthed
as Colombian goalkeeper Rene Higuta performed a double overhead kick
clearance. It became known as the Scorpion Save, and has featured in just
about every video of off-beat football moments that have been produced
since the game. England were the better team but could not translate their
territorial advantage into goals.
