THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1961,

Three players were sent off...bottles were thrown, punches exchanged and the battle went on in the dressing-room...

SOCCER'S BLACKEST DAY

When a World Cup match

became a riot

It was a riot. There can be no other description for the extra- ordinary meeting of Brazilian and Hungarian footballers in the World Cup quarter-finals at Wankdorf Stadium, Berne, on June 27, 1954.

This was the blackest day in the history of world soccer, the day when players and spectators forgot about such old- fashioned niceties as sportsmanship and international good- will and expressed their emotions by throwing boots, bottles and punches.

Hungary's soccer musters were Cup favourites after a run of more than 30 Internationals without defeat, including the first-ever friumph by a foreign sation on English soil. The artistic Brazilions were second favourites after unluckily falling to win the previous World Cup tournament by only one point.

It might well have been the mutch of the century. Unfor- lunately, the Brazilian bomb.
