| GAME SUMMARY After losing three consecutive olympic finals, Yugoslavia grabbed their first gold medal after a very poor game from the technical point of view. The outcome of the match was largely decided in the opening minutes, when the Yugoslavs scored two goals that conditioned the rest of the final.
Only one minute into the game, the wiry center forward Milan Galić opened the score with a long-range shot that drilled the top left corner of the Danish goal. The early 1-0 lead for Yugoslavia gave way to a nervous and frantic game for the next ten minutes, until the Balkans doubled their advantage with a similar goal by Matuš, who smashed a fierce drive into the top right corner, with the Danish goalkeeper From again unable to stop it. So it was 2-0 for Yugoslavia after only eleven minutes of play, and Denmark already had a mountain to climb before they could even settle on the field. Things could have been even worse for the Danes in minute 37, when Galić scored a seemingly valid goal coming from behind to latch onto a cross from the touch line, but the Italian referee Lo Bello inexplicably disallowed it for offside (even though the linesman didn’t signal for it). The Yugoslav players surrounded Lo Bello to complain bitterly for this decision, and captain Milan Galić was sent off for insulting him.
Reduced to only ten men, Yugoslavia was dominated by Denmark for most of the second half, but the Danish ball possession was fruitless, and the game degenerated into a nervous and chaotic affair. In fact, it was the Yugoslavs who made it 3-0 after a rare offensive effort, when left winger Kostić—who had taken the center forward position—netted a powerful drive. The inside-left forward Knez almost scored a fourth goal (which could have been perhaps an excessive punishment for Denmark), but he missed an easy shot from a clear position. The game became increasingly chaotic and nervous in the last minutes, and the Danish left midfielder Flemming Nielsen had to leave the pitch for a few minutes, needing medical assistance after a knee injury. Denmark scored a consolation goal in the last minute of the game when Flemming Nielsen himself, although handicapped, beat Vidinić with a shot from outside the Yugoslav area. The Danish goal came too late, however, and the talented Balkan team hang on to their lead to claim their first Olympic gold. |
