Notes
- Penalty: David Platt3rd scored from 4 taken (75.0%). England's 76th overall. Hashiratani deliberately handles a Shearer rebound off the line whilst his goalkeeper is on the floor having saved the first goal-bound effort. He is sent off and Platt puts his penalty into the side-netting to the 'keeper's left.
