England were leading comfortably
2-0 at half-time through goals by Tony Woodcock (a deflected shot) and
Paul Mariner, and there was no hint of the way the pendulum of play would
swing Switzerland's way in the second-half of this crucial World Cup
qualifier. Trevor Brooking, who had been dominant in midfield, started
feeling the effects of an old injury and when his output dropped England
began to struggle to contain a suddenly lively Swiss side. A long period
of Swiss pressure was finally rewarded when Pfister drove a scorching shot
wide of Peter Shilton, and England clung on desperately for a victory that
revived their World Cup hopes.
