Wiener Sport-Club crush Juventus 7-0 in historic European Cup upset
Juventus arrived in Vienna expecting to complete a straightforward passage through the European Cup qualifying round. Instead, they suffered one of the most astonishing defeats in the history of the competition. The Italian champions had won the first leg in Turin 3-1, with Omar SÃvori scoring a hat-trick, and few believed the Austrian side would threaten Juve. For the opening 25 minutes, the return match appeared to be following the expected script. Then Wiener Sport-Club exploded into life. Karl Skerlan opened the scoring and what followed was a devastating collapse from Juventus as Josef Hamerl produced the performance of his career, scoring four goals. By the time Erich Hof added two late goals, the score had reached an almost unbelievable 8-3 scoreline.
