Manu destinului
Tricolorul Manu opreste mirajul Afroditei, Romania-Cipru 5-2
Sedusi de mirajul unei echipe a Ciprului care parea victima sigura pentru ceata lupilor negrii, tricolorii au incasat doua goluri neverosimile in primul sfert de ora al partidei de aseara. Faimosul numar 7, cipriotul Kellios, a sutat de doua ori spre poarta si - dand cu stangul in dreptul - tricolorii au oferit doua goluri pe tava rivalilor. La indicatiile capitanului Mihai, tricolorii nu s-au pierdut cu firea si au atacat repetat pana au marcat un gol cat o victorie inainte de pauza - marcator Ionut.

I still remember watching this particular game on my small black and white TV. This TV, where I had watched football games and big speeches, was labelled “Sport”, the smallest version of the state company produced television set, also sold under brands such as “Diamant” or “Elcrom” (the upscale colour TV, reserved for party cadres).
