Match overview
England reached the semi-final stage for the first time since 1966 after a dramatic extra-time triumph over Cameroon. Platt’s opener was overturned by Kunde’s penalty and Ekeke’s strike, but Lineker converted two spot-kicks-one in normal time and one in extra time-to seal a 3-2 victory, denying the Indomitable Lions a historic semi-final appearance.
Trivia
Cameroon were the first African team to push England to extra time at a World Cup, and Gary Lineker became the tournament’s joint leading scorer following this brace of penalties. (048) West Germany – Czechoslovakia 1-0
