- "...for the first, which was largely down to the failure of those in front of [Shilton] to deal with Alazamendi's cross after Francescoli's pass had exposed England on the left. Even so, Ostolaza's looping header caught Shilton in the no-man's-land which is apt to remind 40-year-old goalkeepers that it is not such a long time from May to September." Santiago Ostolaza, 27'26:30
- "The free-kick with which Uruguay won the game was struck from 30 yards...Walker fouled Sosa needlessly ans the Uruguayan striker ran onto a return pass, and after Perdomo had bent his kick round the line of defenders Shilton was unable to keep it out in spite of getting a hand on the ball." José Perdomo, 62'61:47
