518 The second Spanish goal in the final against the Poles. CAMP NOU, SABADELL, SARAGOSSA, VALENClA FOOTBALL It was thanks to a last-minute goal that Spain beat Poland 3-2 to become Olympic football champions, carried along by a highly-excited crowd of 95,000, Spaniards and Catalans intermingled, and a royal presence at Camp Nou, the home ground of Barça, Barcelona Football Club. At half-time, Poland was leading one-nil thanks to a goal by Kowalczyk, the young striker from Warsaw Legia. In the 65th minute, just when the King arrived, the regalvanized Spaniards equalized with Abelardo beating the Polish goalkeeper Klak with a header from the corner taken by Barça striker Pep Guardiola. Jubilation followed seven minutes later when Quito-Kiko, the forward from Jerez, made it 2- 1. It is hard to describe the scenes of ecstatic delight, both on the pitch and in the stands. But the excitement of the game was not over yet. Four minutes from time, the Poles counter-attacked, and Staniek equalized again. It was nail-biting. But then came the miracle when, in the 90th minute of a blessed game, Kiko - again! - scored the winning goal. Spain had waited seventy years for its first ever Olympic medal. In the preceding matches, Spain had scored eleven times without conceding a single goal, thanks particularly to a young Andalusian striker, 20-year-old Francisco Narvaez-Kiko, with a K. His name was on everyone’s lips. It was his first appearance in a tournament of this level, and he now looks certain to have a great career ahead of him. Fortified by their quarter-final victory over their great rivals Italy, the Spanish team moved triumphantly into the semi-finals. Against Ghana they lost a player, which meant a yellow card for Ghana’s Kuffuor, but scored twice, again without conceding a goal. The first was scored by Abelardo, followed by a shot from Berges. These two goals guaranteed them the silver and allowed them to dream of gold. Without losing a single match, they could face Poland who had beaten Australia 6-1 in the semi-final. In the preliminary phase, some of the teams tipped to win had been swiftly elimi-
