Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
After the raw excitement of the
game against Scotland and the stunning skill showed against Holland, this
Euro 96 quarter-final fell flat. Only some excellent saves by David Seaman
stopped Spain winning in normal time, and he was again in almost
unbeatable form when the match went to penalties. Alan Shearer, David
Platt, Stuart Pearce, and Paul Gascoigne found the net to give England a
4-2 victory in the cruel form of football's Russian roulette. It was a
personal triumph for man-of-character Pearce, who brought the crowd to
their feet with his flourished fist salute after he scored from the spot
to wipe out the memory of his miss in the 1990 World Cup semi-finals. For
Spain, this was their first defeat in the twenty matches they had played
since the 1994 World Cup. What a sad way for them to go out. To try to get
round the spate of penalty shoot-outs that were deciding major matches,
UEFA introduced a 'Golden Goal' sudden-death system. The first team to
score in extra-time would be the winners. But still two quarter-finals
went to shoot-outs, including this victory by England over Spain.
