3:34 The Daily Telegraph, Thursday, March 27, 1980 Last Night's Soccer WOODCOCK, FRANCIS SMOOTH ENGLAND'S en.3 VICTORY PATH By y DENIS LOWE in Barcelona Spain ....... England 2 ENGLAND, beaten only twice in 24 matches under the shrewd Greenwood, continued in the vast Nou Camp when goals, one in each cock and Trevor friendly international Treating the match as a pean Championship between next June, England gave a 78. at times highly polished performance. Very satisfactory from both the individual and team view- points. The only flaw was some careless first-half finishing a before and after Woodcock, who left Nottingham for a Cologne last November, scored in the 16th minute. In fact, Francis, Woodcock's former club partner and a Nottingham Forest hero in East Berlin last week, might have scored I three times before his marvellous clinching goal in the 65th minute. This pair always posed awkward problems for a robust Spanish defence. Mr. Greenwood, though, would have been happy that so many which has been the strongest scoring opportunities were created a against a back four part of the Spanish team for some time, Behind Francis and Woodcock, constant tormentors of Migueli and Alesanco, the admirable -Coppell, out of form in recent weeks, gave every ounce of effort in a roving role, and had a hand in both goals. Keegan quiet For once Keegan, always shadowed by two defenders, did not need to play a major part in the events, but the England captain busied himself and received fine support from Wilkins and Kennedy who on this occasion was preferred to Brooking on the left side of the field. While the reliable Shilton, given the goalkeeper's vote over Clemence, had to make two notable second half saves from Gordillo and Satrustegui, Spain's shooing, mainly from long range, was not good enough to trouble a man of his ability. Apart from one early alarm, when Wilkins came to the rescue with a timely clearance, Thompson and Watson were solid and commanding in the middle of England's defenice, ad Neal ad Mills covered and tackled effectively the flanks. Bearzot watches Spain, fielding a largely experimental side including two new caps, were best served by their goalkeeper, Arconada, from Real Sociedad, the league leaders, who foiled Francis on no fewer than four occasions and also kept out good attempts by Woodcock and Wilkins. Woodcock should have scored as early as the fourth minute, and two near misses by Francis followed before England, watched management of Ron their successful run Stadium last night, half, by Tony WoodFrancis, decided this against Spain. rehearsal for the Eurothe two sides in Italy sound, accomplished and by Enzo Bearzot, Italy's manager, went in front. Woodcock, fed by Coppell, ran half the length of the pitch before squeezing his shot past Arconada and Urguiaga, the defender on the goal line, from close range. Woodcock was hurt in the process of scoring, but soon recovered. Volker Roth, the West German referee, ignored Spanish went penalty appeals when Saura down under Watson's challenge, and Coppell and Francis were desperately close, to further from goals before Arconada dashed his line like a sprinter to block Francis once again. Spain used three second-half substitutes in an attempt to revive, but England made sure with a second goal from a glorious move. Wilkins began it with a long clearance, Coppell took over to release a perfect pass and Francis came storming through to drive a low rightfooted shot past the goalkeeper's right hand. Alesanco wa sbooked for a foul on Woodcock as Spain continued to hand out rough treatment to the England strikers, and Cunnignham, much to the delight of Spanish and English supporters, made a brief appearance when Francis limped off after a marvellous night's work. Hughes substituted for Neal in the closing minutes.
