Match No. 445 - Tuesday, 2nd June 1970, 4:00pm
Assist: Bobby Charlton. "After 64 minutes came the goal that they had sought with increasing frustration. Ball and Charlton each had a foot in the final parses of the move which sent the ball through to where Hurst lurked six yards from goal. Hurst was round his yellow-shirted shadow in a flash to send a shot scudding away out of Gornea's reach into the corner of the net." Geoff Hurst21st of 24 goals. Left-footed from 6 yards., 65' 64:07
