Match No. 481 - Saturday, 18th May 1974

  • "Scotland needed only five minutes to take the lead at Hampden, Worthington was caught in possession near his own penalty area and the ball rolled to Lorimer, whose shot was parried by Shilton; Jordan struck the rebound firmly and Pejic's despairing foot could only help the ball into the net." Mike Pejic, 4' (og)
  • "On the half-hour Johntone's cheeky backheel to Lorimer caught the defence momentarily offguard, the cross was blocked, but the ball came back to Dalglish whose shot was covered by Shilton but deflected past him, rather unluckily, by Todd." Colin Todd, 30' (og)

Notes

  • Two own goals?Looking at the TV footage Jordan's shot for the opening goal does appear to be going wide before it is diverted into the net by Pejic. For the second goal it is harder to tell if Dalglish's shot is on target before the intervention of Todd.
