report:
In the first half with goals from Ashley Young and Darren Bent were enough to claim a draw against a team of Montenegro that prevailed in the second half after Zverotić Elsad deflected effort in stoppage time before the break, and stabilized by the end Andrija Delibasic to make a play-off place.
But the return trip to England was marred by the red of Rooney.
Reached 17 minutes from time for a completely unnecessary challenge Miodrag Dzudovic, which led to each of 25 years of age, only the second player in England - after David Beckham - to be sent off twice.
The dismissal carries an automatic one match ban for the next competitive game in England, the first of the finals, and the possibility of a second UEFA to consider punishment enough.
It was an incredible way to the 40th game of Fabio Capello as England coach until the end, makes it even crazier, because for 44 minutes, no one had seen anything like this coming.
Although only required a point to book their ticket to the finals next summer in Poland and Ukraine, Capello insisted England would not take a cautious approach.
He was as good as his word that men wide Theo Walcott and Ashley Young unexpected exposed weaknesses in the defense of Montenegro an early stage.
Rooney fell deeply, leaving at bay folded in a strange space hosts found it difficult to treat.
Rookie Phil Jones had spent about a wayward cross that almost fell into that England recorded their opponents in the form of open textbooks.
Glorious ball movement led to the release of Rooney Walcott down the right flank.
The delivery man from the Arsenal, at the far post was perfect. In young defendants and was at the head at close range. Football at this level is rarely as easy as that.
That surprised the supporters of Montenegro. Instead of the expected hot atmosphere, which were swamped by jubilant visitors since completed a series of the first 15 minutes of goals in all their away games G Group.
And in England did not stop there.
Rooney would have had a tap-in if they had not cut cross Dzudovic Bent at full capacity.
Jones' powerful header from the corner of Walcott Rooney goalbound until it hit on the back.
England was in cruise control and doubled their lead 14 minutes Bent before the break.
Again, the movement was launched by Rooney from a central location.
This time the incisive pass was to the left, where the boy was in the chase. Bent could not leave the house slot his fourth goal in five internationals from close range.
England had gone part-time only complaint that Capello might have been for the failure to protect Walcott Jones, whose performance on the right side belies his 19 years.
As it turned out, had good reason to complain that his team lost concentration in the added time and benefited Zverotić his shot found the bottom thanks to a significant deviation from Gary Cahill.
Apart from changing the nature of Capello's half time brought, brought the hosts into life.
Hart refused to stop Fatos Beciraj low, Stevan Jovetic had dismissed a criminal appeal after a clumsy Jones.
After a broader effort Beciraj screwed, Young was holding his knee, although the most natural defense capability Stewart Downing is practiced on a night that had become a sort of trial.
It could have been a greater contrast in the two halves, but as Simon Vukcevic Blackburn went to the goal, prompting the introduction of Frank Lampard for the folded and completely rejigged 4-5-1 formation.
Rooney was supposed to be at the apex. Then came the crash with Dzudovic, the German referee Wolfgang Stark for his expulsion from Rooney kicked his opponent.
Came the red card Rooney sent through the tunnel in disgrace.
There was still time for Montenegro to deny England victory, but that's a minor issue compared to the ridiculous act of a player that could lose two thirds of England's group stage next summer.
