Oleg Blokhin vs France | Scores a Winner in a World Cup Qualifier | 26/05/1973

20 years old Oleg Blokhin causes all sorts of trouble for Marius Tresor’s France before eventually scoring a winner. It was a must-win game for both teams since only one of them would go through to the final stage of qualification. Sadly, USSR didn’t make it into the final tournament — they refused to travel to Chile that just suffered a military coup led by Pinochet, sacrificing a chance of competing for the trophy. 00:00 The beginning 01:22 Magic 08:33 81’ Blokhin 1:0
