"In the thirteenth minute Hoddle gave Blissett one of several chances..and Garaba had to foul the England forward to stop him...[Hoddle] produced a typically impudent chip [of a free kick] which floated high out of reach of Kovacs and in under the bar." Glenn Hoddle6th of 8 goals. , 13'
"After 19 minutes the went further ahead when Bursca, attempting a first-time clearance after a corner from Hoddle had been headed out of the goalmouth, missed his kick and the eager Lee pounced, voraciously hitting the ball with the outside of his right foot and sending a superb 20 yard shot past the goalkeeper's left hand." Sammy Lee2nd of 2 goals. Right-footed from 20 yards., 19'
Assist: Glenn Hoddle. "The third goal arrived three minutes beofore half-time...Lee met Blisset's long cross beyond the far post and turned the ball back to Hoddle who moved into the penalty area under pressure and produced a long square pass from which Mariner scored his first goal for England since last year's opening World Cup game against France." Paul Mariner12th of 13 goals. , 42'
