THE CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1960.

England almost humbled again

88th-MINUTE GOAL GIVES THEM 3-3 SOCCER DRAW AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA

London, May 11,

England and Yugoslavia drew three-all in their international

football match at Wembley here today.

A crowd of 60,000 saw England heading for another defeat until only two minutes from the end when they scored the equaliser through Johnny Haynes.

England's hopes for a last-second win vanished when a header by centre- forward Baker hit the left Yugoslavian goalpost only to bounce back harmlessly just before the final whistle.

The half-time score of thy match which was lacking in energy and inspiration, was 1-1.

The Yugoslavians seemed the more polished players but their attacks lacked determination and there was far too much lateral passing.

The lack of science in the home team's play must have disturbed the English selectors who have to pick an eleven to meet Spain in Madrid on May 15 and Hungary in Budapest

week later.
