England v Cameroon, 01 July 1990

Kick-off: 9.00pm local (8.00pm BST) After extra time - 2-2 at 90 minutes This game was the only quarter-final at this tournament to produce more than one goal. Despite Cameroon's earlier heroics, David Platt put England ahead in the 25th minute. At half-time, Cameroon brought Roger Milla on, and the game was turned on its head in five minutes. First Cameroon were awarded a penalty with Emmanuel Kunde duly scoring the equaliser. Then in the 65th minute, Eugene Ekeke put Cameroon ahead. The Indomitable Lions came within eight minutes of an historic victory, but then they conceded a penalty which Gary Lineker converted. Midway through extra time, England were awarded another penalty which Lineker again netted. In denying Cameroon the honour of becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals, England went through to the last four for the first time in 24 years.
