00:00120th international cap in gold tonight.
00:02They make two changes.
00:04Gary Stephens of Rangers replaced by Paul Parker.
00:06And Mark Wright will play as a sweeper behind Butcher and Walker.
00:11With Paul Parker and Stuart Pearce playing as wing-backs.
00:15The Dutch make three changes after their disappointing draw with Egypt.
00:19The Ajax left-winger Richard Visca replaces Erwin Koeman.
00:23And there's also a place for his team-mate Jean Van Schip.
00:27So three Ajax players in the team.
00:30And a third cap for Aberdeen striker Hans Hillhaus.
00:35And with the Dutch also including three players from AC Milan.
00:39Hulett, Rijkaard and Van Basten.
00:43Both England and Holland have about 5,000 supporters here.
00:46And the Dutch as always very versatile.
00:49Marco Van Basten has been top scorer in Serie A with AC Milan in the season just finished.
00:58Rude Hulett back in international duty.
01:02He was out for a year with a knee injury.
01:04And it will be England to kick off playing from left to right.
01:11Well there is a feeling that Holland's style of play might give England more freedom, more chance to play their
01:17own game.
01:21And this is certainly one of the fixtures that caught the eye when the World Cup draw was made.
01:30First free kick given in the opening few seconds.
01:34First off by Gascoigne to Chris Waddle who spots Butcher Free on this right side into Gary Lineker.
01:44Good cross.
01:45Piers is arriving.
01:47Just taken off his forehead by Van Brukkelen of PSV Ironhaven.
01:57This is Chris Waddle.
02:02This is Mark Wright.
02:06There was a challenge on Mark Wright after the ball had been released which has gone unpunished.
02:11Here's Lineker in with a chance.
02:13Cuts it back.
02:14Cleared by Rijkaard.
02:15It's going to be a corner.
02:17England had opened them up then.
02:21Gascoigne trying to drift through two defenders and he has a terrific ball in.
02:25And it comes off the side of Brian Robson's head.
02:27And flashes wide of goal.
02:29But England creating two good chances here in the opening minutes.
02:34For England to pack that Dutch penalty area.
02:39Swung in and flashes across the face of goal.
02:43Lineker was waiting.
02:45Well England's greatest World Cup moment was being crowned the World Champions in 1966.
02:51The only occasion incidentally on which they've got past the quarterfinal stages of the tournament.
02:59Here's Barnes.
03:03To Waddle.
03:05Touch it back.
03:05Here's John Barnes.
03:06Really good position.
03:07Chips it up to the back post.
03:08But it's too far.
03:10And Pearce was at full stretch to try and hook it in.
03:19Shooting with the goal kick.
03:26Here's Barnes.
03:28Gascoigne.
03:29Butcher.
03:31This is Lineker.
03:38Goes outside.
03:39Tigellan.
03:40Here's Lineker.
03:41Across the six-yard box.
03:42Touched behind for a corner.
03:44By Koeman.
03:46England's best chance.
03:48And once...
03:49It is Pearce.
03:50And he got it through the wall.
03:52And he was right at Brooklyn.
03:54Oh, the keeper must have seen it late as well.
03:57Either side of him.
03:59And surely England would have been going in at half-time.
04:01Leading by one goal to nil.
04:06Came through a gap in the wall.
04:08Van Brucken didn't have to adjust his position.
04:11It's the last act of the half.
04:13And it is nil-nil here in Cagliari.
04:15In this.
04:16And Holland kick off the second half.
04:19Now attacking the goal to the right.
04:22Goal.
04:28Both teams with chances in that first half.
04:32Maybe Holland with more possession.
04:35Succeeded in keeping it in play.
04:37Woggle.
04:39Gascoigne.
04:41He's not going to be allowed time on the ball.
04:46Parker.
04:48Here's Lineker.
04:50Here's Lineker.
04:50Took a long time to come down.
04:51Woggle.
04:52Here's Parker.
04:53Good position.
04:54Lineker goes in.
04:55Lineker.
04:56Great chance.
04:57And again.
04:58And it's in the net.
05:00Oh, but it's not going to be allowed.
05:05The Yugoslav referee has ruled it out.
05:09And I think he's suggesting there was a handball.
05:11That's the first effort by Gary Lineker.
05:14That was saved by Van Brucken.
05:16And when it came back, it certainly seemed to strike Gary Lineker.
05:22Was it a deliberate handball?
05:24The referee thinks so.
05:26Yeah, he did.
05:27He nudged it down with his arm.
05:30Van Aal.
05:33Rijkaard.
05:36Now, Hulid.
05:41And we almost overran it.
05:48Good solid challenge by Butcher on Vitska.
05:58Now, Koeman.
06:03Well, he'd do well to beat Peter Shilton to Van Basten.
06:12Struck left-footed, but he's not really had any chance to seriously test Peter Shilton.
06:18Van Basten, of course, will always be remembered for that wonder goal that he scored against the Soviet Union
06:24in the European Championship final of two years ago.
06:29Here's Gary Lineker.
06:31Back to John Barnes.
06:32Back to Lineker.
06:33Glorious chance.
06:34Oh, Lineker's missed it.
06:40No offside flag.
06:42Lineker looks up into the night sky.
06:45And the golden boot winner from four years ago
06:48has missed a glorious opportunity to put England ahead.
06:53Good link-up play with John Barnes.
06:55The return was perfect.
06:57He's going to be replaced.
07:01Steve Bull, 25 years of age, of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
07:07On for England with just over half an hour left to play.
07:11Go!
07:12Go!
07:15Go!
07:17Go!
07:17Go!
07:18Go!
07:19Go!
07:21Go!
07:22Go!
07:24Go!
07:26Go!
07:31Go!
07:32The Dutch substitutes beginning to warm up.
07:36No sign yet of any activity from Leo Beenhacker to make a change.
07:42Here's Barnes.
07:46Robson.
07:51Go!
07:52Go!
07:53Go!
07:54Go!
07:54Go!
07:55Oh, é uma grande chance para Steve Ball, apenas no substituto.
08:01Beleza.
08:02E aí é Butcher.
08:08Gascoigne, assistido por Koeman.
08:12Slips pasto Koeman, ele está em...
08:14Oh, e já está evadido o Gary Lineker na parte de baixo.
08:20Bem, vai o Englund rue a missão neste segundo half?
08:26Gascoigne's trickery,
08:27getting the better of Koeman.
08:29Ele está chegando por leaps e bounds,
08:30Gascoigne, desde que ele se reuniu o Terry Venables em Tottenham.
08:37Steve Ball, ainda esperando por sua chance.
08:40Ele é o único segundo-division player
08:42para ser incluído em Englund's World Cup squad.
08:46Agora, o nome é o substituto para o replacear Chris Waddle.
08:49E aqui vem Holland.
08:51Aqui é Van Aal.
08:55Whistle's gone.
08:57Whistle's gone.
08:58Foul on Butcher.
09:08Vim Kieft on then with a new set of instructions
09:11from Van Aal who knocks it forward.
09:14Here's Vim Kieft.
09:20A chance of a shot here left-footed.
09:24England standing off.
09:28Giving Van Basten a sight of Peter Schilten's goal.
09:34which Pearce is going to take.
09:41England have got six players in the penalty area.
09:49The goal now will be perfect for England.
09:54The goal now will be perfect for England.
09:55Pearce does take it.
09:56Left-footed, driven in.
09:57Oh, it's gone in.
09:58Pearce has scored for England.
09:59No!
10:01It's going to be denied.
10:03It's ruled out.
10:05England have the ball in Holland's net
10:07for the second time in this half.
10:09And again, it's disallowed.
10:12And it's disallowed
10:14because the Yugoslav referee has decided
10:17no other player touched the ball
10:18after Stuart Pearce struck it
10:21and he had signalled an indirect free kick.
10:25What a disappointment for England.
10:30Here's Butcher.
10:37And that's it.
10:39It ends goalless.
10:41It's England nil.
10:42It's Holland nil.
10:44And the England fans on the terraces
10:46are very disappointed
10:47when Stuart Pearce struck this.
10:51Van Bruckleham went for it
10:52but he didn't get any contact on the ball
10:55and you can clearly see the referee
10:57signalling an indirect free kick.
11:01Well, all the excitement in this match
11:03coming in the second half
11:04and a controversial moment there
11:06in the final few seconds.
11:09England fans will go home unhappy
11:12but you can clearly see
11:13that no one else touches the ball.
11:17And both England and Holland
11:19will now go into their final group games
11:21with two points apiece.
11:23It's England nil, Holland nil.
11:25Thank you.
11:26Thank you.
