00:04England versus Belgium. England nearest the camera.
00:07Leading the home side is Bobby Moore of West Ham, exchanging the usual international courtesies.
00:12Signor Lobello of Italy is referee, and quickly shows he's in good form with the coin.
00:17Moore has won the toss, and the crowd of 45,000 hope for top-class football.
00:21England, in white as usual, are playing from left to right.
00:36England's first real attack takes them within shooting distance. Nikolai averts danger.
00:45Belgium look menacing now, and when England centre-half Maurice Norman handles the ball,
00:49everybody is sure it's a penalty, but not the referee.
00:53The free kick doesn't bring Belgium any reward.
00:56By Tony Waiters, a fine save.
01:03Belgium are full of confidence now, and Waiters has to concede a corner.
01:10After 22 minutes, the visitors' pressure is rewarded.
01:14Left-back Cornelis gets a goal.
01:23A goal down at home, too. That's enough to make England attack in earnest.
01:32Terry Venables is foul.
01:37The free kick spells danger to Belgium.
01:40Venables to Greaves.
01:41Jimmy tries hard, but it's just wide.

01:47Centre-forward Fred Pickering finds the net.
01:52Belgium strike back, determined to regain the lead.
01:54Paul van Himst sees his shot diverted by Norman, but it's a goal for Belgium.
02:00Half-time, Belgium 2, England 1.
02:02And try as they will, Bobby Moore's men seem unable to get on equal terms.
02:14In goal, great work by Nikolai.
02:19Belgium retaliate.
02:20If they can get one more goal, they'll really send victory.
02:23Fortunately, Waiters is on the alert.
02:27England see a chance now.
02:28Inside left, Terry Venables to Hinton.
02:30His cross is deflected by Verbeest.
02:33Goal!
02:40Belgium's valiant efforts fail to bring them the winning goal.
02:43At the final whistle, it's a draw.

02:45A good sporting game.
02:50Life.
02:50On the line, you might twice increase 29.
