The football spun into the goal and rubbed against the net, making a slight rustling sound. However, the sound was completely drowned out by the singing of more than 10,000 England fans in the stadium.
Nearly 60,000 Spanish fans in the Nou Mestalla stadium, which could hold 70,000 spectators, were now silent collectively. This place had been instantly transformed from Spain's home ground into England's territory.
"This is a glorious moment in English football! We are now leading against the host team, Spain, by a score of 2:0 with 15 minutes to go before the end of the game! This also means that we are only 15 minutes away from England reaching the finals in the international tournament for the first time in fifty years!" John Motson roared excitedly into the microphone, his voice spreading across the whole of England via satellite.
