Match overview
England and Belgium could not be separated over 120 minutes, until substitute David Platt volleyed in the winner at the death to secure a dramatic 1-0 victory and send Bobby Robson’s side into the quarter-finals.
Trivia
Platt’s late strike, his first for England, arrived after he had replaced Steve McMahon only 20 minutes earlier. Belgium hit the English woodwork on more than one occasion but could not force extra penalties.
