| GAME SUMMARY After one of the best finals in the recent history of the olympic football tournament, Spain won the gold medal in front of a home crowd of 95,000 spectators at the Camp Nou of Barcelona, and they did it 72 years after their only previous olympic medal (silver in Antwerp in 1920). At the end of a thrilling game, with all-out attacks on both sides, and just when it seemed that the final would go into extra-time, Quico brought ecstasy to the local fans with a last-minute winner, chipping a loose ball over the Polish goalkeeper.
With no defensive restrictions, Spain and Poland gave a demonstration of modern attacking football from the first minute of the game. The Spaniards started out with a constant pressing in midfield and pinned their opponents down in the early stages of the game. In minute 8, Ferrer should have scored the opener after dribbling past the goalkeeper, but he sent his final touch wide of a gaping goal. Then it was López who crashed a header against the crossbar, and it looked as if it was only a question of time for Spain to score the first goal. The Spanish danger came especially down the left wing, where the speedy Berges combined constantly with Quico. Poland, after resisting the early pressure with a well organized defense and a series of excellent saves by Kłak, tried to slow the pace of the game and break up the rhythm of their opponents. The Spanish pressure finally decreased after the half hour mark, and the Poles had a chance to get into the game and threaten the local area. In minute 37, Kowalczyk had a great opportunity to score when he was played through perfectly by Staniek in front of Toni, but the Spanish goalkeeper produced an instinctive save to deny him. Spain reacted to this scare with another domination period until halftime. However, it was Poland who took the lead in injury time, rather against the run of play, when López failed to control a long punt from Kłak and Kowalczyk latched onto the ball to shoot past Toni (thus putting an end to the Spanish goalkeeper’s unbeaten streak of 495 minutes, a new olympic record).
After the restart, Spain looked shell-shocked for some time, and Juskowiak twice went close to make it 2-0 for Poland after two counterattacks: first he sent a header just wide, then fired a low shot that Toni tipped off for a corner. But just as Spain had paid dearly their profligacy in the first half, the Poles would also regret their wasted chances. Around the hour mark, Spain seemed to pull themselves back into the game and started to peg the Poles back with the traditional “Spanish Fury” and the constant support of an entire Camp Nou. Ferrer had a good opportunity to obtain the equalizer, but he narrowly missed his shot. The home team wouldn’t be denied in their next attack though: only three minutes after King Juan Carlos and the Royal Family had entered the stadium, Abelardo levelled the scores after heading home at the far post a Guardiola free kick. Five minutes later, Spain completed their comeback when Quico was assisted by Ferrer and scored a very skillful goal, hard to believe coming from such a tall forward. However, Poland still had energy left to regain the initiative, and with fifteen minutes to go Staniek made it 2-2 after latching onto a through ball by Brzęczek. With both teams striving for the winning goal and none able to take the upper hand, there was action on both ends, and the two goalkeepers were called to make splendid saves. In the last minute of regulation, however, with the fans preparing themselves for an additional half hour of a superb match, Quico became the hero for Spain: Ferrer kicked a corner on the right, Luis Enrique’s shot was blocked and the Cádiz forward was faster than anyone else in the Polish area to chip the ball over the Polish goalkeeper and bring hysteria to the Camp Nou stands. There was just time enough for the referee to restart the game and then blow the final whistle, to the indescribable joy of almost 100,000 Spanish fans in the stadium. |
