DO YOU KNOW WHO SCORED FOR ITALY WHEN THEY FIRST BEAT ENGLAND AT WEMBLEY STADIUM IN 1973?

Fabio Capello

The first time the Azzurris of Italy conquered the Three Lions of England, (the so called “inventors”of football) on their home soil at the Wembley Stadium was on November 11, 1973 in an international friendly match. 

The only goal of the game was scored by Fabio Capello in the 87th minute with the aid of Peter Shilton, who could only parry out a powerful Giorgio Chinaglia cross and the former England Coach was on hand to sidefoot the ball home and send hundreds of Italian waiters in London home happy.
