"There was no Pele, but Pepe popped up with a first-half 'banana' free-kick from 25 yards that deceived Gordon Banks and swung into the roof of the England net. Douglas scrambled a late equalizer against the world champions. Gordon Milne was the first defensive 'ball winning' midfield player selected by Ramsey, a role that would ultimately go to Nobby Stiles. George Eastham followed his father, George senior, as an England international, and they were the first father and son to win England caps. Gordon Banks said later, 'Alf gave me a rollocking at half-time for falling for what he called Pepe's three-card trick. But from Alf's position on the touchline he could not have known how much bend Pepe put on the ball. I swear that if it had not gone into the net it would have done a circular tour of the stadium!'"

00:03England are in their familiar white shirts as they come onto the pitch with Brazil.
00:08Right back, Jimmy Armfield meets the visiting captain, their goalkeeper, Gilmar.
00:12And the rather disappointing news as the teams line up ready for Bobby Smith to kick off
00:16is that the fabulous Pelé is not in the Brazil team.
00:20This, of course, is a game England simply can't afford to lose,
00:23so it's good to see them confidently sweeping into Brazil territory.
00:31The first shot comes from the Liverpool right half, Gordon Milne.
00:40England attack again.
00:48Getting a chance in this match is George Easton.
00:52The ball now goes to that shooting genius, Pepe.
01:00In good time, it's Bobby Moore to the rescue.
01:05Now a free kick for a foul on Amarillo.
01:08Pepe takes it. A goal!
01:12That was Pepe's banana kick with the uncanny late swerve.
01:16Greaves on the move. Now Charlton, but no real danger to Brazil.
01:21Chance here for Smith.
01:26Half time. Brazil lead by the only goal scored so far.
01:30Perhaps they already see themselves as the third foreign country to beat England at Wembley.
01:35Bobby Moore and the rest are determined to avoid that humiliation.
01:38And as in the first half, England are attacking more than their opponents.
01:42Surely the equaliser will come soon.
01:45And when Bobby Charlton fires a header, watch an escape for Brazil.
01:49And another one.
01:58On this tour, Brazil have lost 3-1-2.
02:01It's time they've begun to show World Championship form.
02:05Banks gets England out of trouble.
02:08A corner for Brazil.
02:11Bobby Moore clears, but the ball goes on to an opponent.
02:14Now on to Pepe.
02:16But not a second time does that really deadly shot deceive Banks.
02:21At the other end, the Brazil goal has a few anxious moments.
02:28Gilmour's clearance goes to right-back Jimmy Armfield.
02:31A goal now scramble and then Douglas gets the equaliser.
02:43England try for another, but no, that's the whistle.
02:47A draw.
02:47One all.
