Notes

  • Greenhoff InjuryNot long after the first Dutch goal, in the 31st minute, Brian Greenhoff injures his right elbow in an England attack, he makes his way off the pitch slowly but England take so long to replace him that the Dutch take advantage and score again. He is finally replaced by Todd.
