  • Assist: Mick Channon. "In the eighth minute Keegan found Channon in space on the right with an excellent volleyed square pass, and Channon ran at Guyot, beat him for pace, and sent in a oblique shot that the goalkeeper could only push out to the incoming Keegan, who scored simly. Kevin Keegan4th of 21 goals. , 8'
  • Assist: David Johnson. "After 19 minutes Hasler tamely surrendered the ball to Johnson in his own half; once more Channon was given an inordinate amount of room on the right and this time his shot was too much for the goalkeeper." Mick Channon9th of 21 goals. , 19'

Notes

  • Shirt NumbersIn an odd tactic Revie gave random shirt numbers to the players in order the confuse the Czech scouts ahead of the crunch Euro '76 qualifier the following month.
  • Missed Penalty: Kevin Keegan1st miss from 1st taken (0.0%). England's 57th overall. 12th minute. "...when Bell sent Johnson haring into the penalty area Burgener brought down the Ipswich player to give Keegan the chance of more or less settling the game after only 12 minutes. Burgener, diving hard to his right, pushed aside a kick that was firmly struck, though high enough to bring about the possibility of a save."
