Keegan earned a merited draw with a Brazilian-style free-kick that he bent
But the forwards could not get going often enough, and England’s passing was not as accurate as might have been expected on an occasion of such importance.The Brazilians need not have worried about the comparative inexperience of Piazza and Brito, the centre-backs. But he was not alone: Even in this pro-Brazilian crowd, Pele himself received the same treatment for a bad shot.England had their first half change after 32 minutes, from a move involving, Mullery and Wright; but Lee’s shot was smothered. Lee, who tried to bustle through, on one occasion having a good chance half smothered by Felix, and Bobby Charlton, who worked himself almost to a standstill in the middle of the field, were replaced by Bell and Astle immediately after the Brazilians had scored.It was then that the two England chances came and were lost forever.

Labone held the threat from Tostao, and once again England were thankful to Moore for his cool, commanding generalship. And there was no disgrace in that.It remains now for a great effort against the Czechs on Thursday to ensure that England qualify for the quarter-finals, even if they have to go to Leon to play. England 1 Brazil 1 [0-1]. He failed to take advantage of a terrible defensive muddle involving Everaldo, and shot wide of an open goal. But one cannot budget for genius.There was one occasion when Pele eluded the England defence, and played the ball off defenders’ legs as one does a billiard ball off a cushion.
