Games

With three victories in the preliminary round against Burma, Sudan and Mexico, the Soviet Union moved into the intermediate round. In this one started with a victory against Morocco, which was followed by a defeat against the eventual Olympic champion Poland. As a result, in the last game against Denmark it was about second place in the group, which entitled to the game for third place. After a clear victory they played in the small final against the GDR. This ended in a draw after extra time, which brought both teams the bronze medal.
