Match No. 832 - Saturday, 8th October 2005, 4:00pm
Assist: Michael Owen. "England made the breakthrough after 25 minutes, when referee Cantalejo pointed to the spot after Scharner needlessly pulled Owen back by the arm [23:14]. Beckham handed penalty duties to Lampard after missing his last three for England, and it proved to be a wise decision as the Chelsea man sent Jurgen Macho the wrong way from the spot."

Notes
- Beckham: Red CardBeckham's dismissal on 59 minutes is the 10th sending off of an Englishman, the first by an England starting captain (Ray Wilkins was sent off wearing the captain's armband in the World Cup 1986 but was the replacement captain after Bryan Robson dislocated his shoulder) and the first player to be sent off twice playing for England. The yellow cards were 69 seconds apart.
- Penalty: Frank Lampard1st scored from 1 taken (100.0%). England's 93rd overall. 25th minute. "England made the breakthrough after 25 minutes, when referee Cantalejo pointed to the spot after Scharner needlessly pulled Owen back by the arm [23:14]. Beckham handed penalty duties to Lampard after missing his last three for England, and it proved to be a wise decision as the Chelsea man sent Jurgen Macho the wrong way from the spot."
