On this same day, 7th of November, 28 years ago, one of the most unexpected things in football happened. The legendary team of Ajax(Amsterdam) was busted by CSKA(Sofia), after a decade of complete dominance in football Europe, and three subsequent UEFA trophies. The game took place on the "Vasil Levski" Natinal Stadium, in front of the spectacular 70 000 spectators, to become one of the golden moments of Bulgarian sport history.
In the first match Ajax have won with 1:0 and it seemed like it was going to be easy for them to win.The game began with a slight advance for the Bulgarian team, and up to the 60th minute it looked like the team from the Netherlands will hold the tie, but then Marshaliev deflected the ball in the net, after a brilliant break by Denev. The result stayed the same till the end of the game, and in the additinal time everybody was preparing for the penalties, when Mihaylov scored, after a spectacular shot from the border of the penalty area. Thus, "the giant" from Amsterdam was taken down by the modest team from Sofia, which was now turning into a killer of big European champions.
