In the 11-th round of the Italian football championship, the city rivals of Rome, Lazio and Roma were tied - 3:3. Lazio led until the 79-th minute with a score 3:1, mostly owing to the Yugoslav national team player Sinisa Mihajlovic, who was the assistant when his team (Lazio) scored first two goals. Since Mihajlovic left the game, Roma, the team having the former captain of Belgrade's
Partizan Ivan Tomic play for them, managed
to tie the score and also had a chance to win the match, but the final
score was 3:3. The second Yugoslav national team player in Lazio,
talented Dejan Stankovic scored when his team was already in the
lead (3:1), but the referee called it off-side position, so the score
remained 3:1.
