Notes
- Disallowed GoalBell has the ball in the net [63:10] but he is offside.
- Player InjuryMullery and Čapkovič both jump for an aerial ball [68:00]. The Czech gets an elbow to the face, cutting his lip, and lands heavily. He clearly is very dazed and he is carried off, rather uncomfortably, by his team mates and laid on a bench.
- Penalty: Allan Clarke1st scored from 1 taken (100.0%). England's 53rd overall. 49th minute.
