"Then after 68 minutes...away went Russia on one of their infrequent and apparently harmless raids. They put the ball behind, and MacDonald calmly took the goal-kick. This time his kick went to a red-shirted opponent, and in a trice Russia had sliced through England's defence. Ilyin was left with the ball at his feet, and the whole of the goal to aim at. He hit the ball hard; stuck the inside of the post, and slid into the net."Anatoli Ilyin, 68' 67:17

Notes
Play-offEngland and USSR were inseparable after the group stage. They were equal on points, goal difference and goals scored and the match between the two was a 2-2 draw. A hastily arranged play-off was planned. After Russia's victory they progressed to the quarter finals where they would lose to the hosts Sweden two days later.
