In 1992, the Spanish national team beat Iran 9:6. 12 years later, the Brazilians defeated their principal rivals from Argentina 7:4. And in 2012, Italy left Colombia no chance – 3:0.
Now the Ukrainians have raised the bar to +6. For our futsal players, it was the second match for the bronze medal in history – in 1996, the "Blue and Yellows" lost to the Russians 2:3.
