"In the seventh minute McFarland impeded Lubanski as the Pole started to slip past him to collect a long ball from Gorgon. Gadocha took the free kick a few yards from the edge of the penalty area on the left of goal, and surprised the England defenders with a wicked inswinger. Everybody seemed to be standing stockstill as Banas darted in to score, the ball bouncing into hte net off Shilton."Robert Gadocha, 7' 6:33
"However, within [48 seconds] of the second half, the Poles scored again with a goal which was one of the worst ever conceded under Ramsey's managership. There seemed little danger to England as McFarland nodded a high ball straight down to Moore. But, untypically, the England captain lost concentration for a fraction of a second, and was smartly dispossessed by the alert Lubanski, who ran on alone to beat Shilton with a shot in off the near post."Włodzimierz Lubański, 47' 46:48

Notes
Disputed first goal scorerMoore and Shilton believed the ball hit Moore's leg first and then bounced off Shilton before he could react, so it should have been a Moore own goal. Both Banas and Gadocha claimed the goal, the latter much to Banas's annoyance years later. Whereas most print media go with Banas, Gadocha is official credited with the goal by FIFA. TV replays are inconclusive.
Player InjuryLubanski goes down under a fair tackle from McFarland [52:44] and seems to jar his knee on landing. McFarland is not impressed by the "play acting" by standing over him (and I'm sure totally accidently) kicking him in the side. Ball is frustrated too but Lubanski's injury appears genuine. He is unceremoniously carried off the pitch and eventually replaced by Domarski [55:20].
England red cardĆmikiewicz had tripped Peters directly in front of Ball and the English number 7 grabbed the Polishman by the scruff of the neck and pulled him to his feet raising his knee into Ćmikiewicz's groin as he did so. The knee didn't connect, or at least Ćmikiewicz didn't react as if it did, all he could do was look on in non-plussed wonderment at what had happened so quickly. Schiller was in no doubt what Ball had done and the red card was out immediately.
