 England finally came home to Wembley after a wait of seven years, but you don't have to wait a moment longer to watch highlights of their enthralling contest with Brazil.
England were moments away from their first victory over Brazil since 1990, also at Wembley, when a solitary Gary Lineker strike gave them the win. It was not to be, but in a friendly encounter that had passion and inventive football at its core there can be few arguments about the enjoyment.
John Terry made history when he headed past Helton to give Steve McClaren's side the lead, becoming the first England player to score at the new venue, with the assist coming inevitably from the returning David Beckham.
When the fourth official indicated the added time it seemed that England were headed for a victory at the first attempt in the new stadium, but Dunga's side had the final say.
The visitors' captain Gilberto Silva played a pinpoint cross over the head of Ledley King to find the awaiting Diego, and the substitute striker guided the ball into the far corner beyond the outstretched hands of Paul Robinson.
Although the game ended in a stalemate there was nothing stale about the homecoming of England to Wembley, and in the coming years this game will be remembered as the first of many enthralling home games for the Three Lions.
