Soviet Union vs Yugoslavia
The Soviet Union dominated the game from the beginning. Soon after half time, they opened the score when Viktor Ponedelnik hit the bar with a free kick and Valentin Ivanov headed in the rebound. In the last minutes, Ponedelnik scored from the edge of the area.
Tragedy struck ten minutes before the final whistle, when Eduard Dubinski was carried away with a broken leg after a clash with Muhamed Mujić, who was later sent home by his team. Dubinski died almost seven years later in 1969 of sarcoma.
Uruguay took an early lead in the 19th minute with a goal from Ángel Cabrera. Yugoslavia responded with determination. In the 25th minute, Josip Skoblar converted a penalty to equalize the score. Shortly after, in the 29th minute, Milan Galić scored, giving Yugoslavia a 2-1 advantage. Early in the second half, Dražan Jerković extended Yugoslavia's lead with a goal in the 49th minute, bringing the score to 3-1. Yugoslavia maintained their lead for the remainder of the match, securing a 3-1 victory over Uruguay. This win was crucial for Yugoslavia's progression in the tournament, contributing to their advancement from the group stage. The match is remembered for Yugoslavia's effective comeback after conceding the initial goal.
