  Portugal 
	  opened with style and grace, and England were often stretched close to 
	  breaking point. But this Terry Venables team had character, and they 
	  withstood an early avalanche without conceding a goal and started to hit 
	  back with thrusting football of their own. Steve Stone, this time starting 
	  the game, was again outstanding and gave England the lead with a 
	  magnificent shot from twenty yards moments before half-time. Portugal 
	  equalized early in a splendid second-half, with both teams producing 
	  football of the highest quality. England almost snatched victory when 
	  substitute Gareth Southgate marked his debut by heading against the 
	  crossbar. 'We got a taste of what Euro 96 is going to be like,' said Terry 
	  Venables. 'I can't wait.' |
