  • Frankfurt [R]

    From Bruce Scott@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Fri Apr 29 11:36:01 2022
    What a performance last night! Frankfurt went after it from the
    opening kick and scored after 50 seconds. But then West Ham, unlike
    Barcelona, didn't show shock and got back into the game within the
    first phase of the half at 21'. Afterward it was anybody's game,
    raucous back and forth stuff with both teams dangerous. Both hit the
    woodwork in the 2nd half, but Frankfurt scored when a through pass
    went into a cutter whose shot was blocked but not held. On the spill
    Kamada got a half a foot onto it and got it into the net for what
    turned out to be the winner, but not before West Ham had a fantastic
    bicycle kick go down off the inside of the crossbar but not in. It
    could have been the last-gasp equaliser but wasn't to be. But West
    Ham are still very much alive in the tie, and Frankfurt will have to
    remember the Hammers went down to Lyon and won there 3-0 away in the
    second leg in the 1/4-Finals. Next week will be another good one!

    Very nervous performance from Frankfurt (second half, didn't see the
    first), with the fear of blowing the whole thing weighing down on them.

    3 finals; 6 teams from 6 different leagues. Did we have that back when
    the Cup Winner's Cup was a thing?

    Yes, fairly often I think.

    Though 1987 will not be a year fondly remembered by Bayern fans,
    we had

    Bayern Porto

    Ajax Lok Leipzig

    Dundee Utd. IFK G||teborg.
