VERY FRIENDLY INTERNATIONAL-UNLESS YOU ARE WELSH

In 1990 on this day, the Welsh dressing room at Lansdowne Road, Dublin was broken into during a friendly international match against the Republic of Ireland which the Republic won. Jack Charlton managed the Irish, Terry Yorath the Welsh.
Sussex man Alan Gunn was the referee.

Even more surprising was Bobby Robson's England's win over Brazil 1-0 at Wembley.  Gary Lineker scored his 30th goal for the country and Stuart Pearce kept a potential equaliser out of the goal with what might have been a hand. Still no VAR and the ref was clearly right supported by his assistant.
There is an 11 minute clip here. Lineker scores after 3minutes.
Pearce acts after 7 mins or so

Even more surprising was a win for Scotland against (wait for it) Argentina 1-0 at Hampden Park. Stewart McKimmie scored the winner after 32 minutes. Jet lag? Watch the goal now!
