In the preliminaries of the Melbourne Olympics, the Soviet Union National Football team hosts the Israeli national team in Moscow. Seventy thousand spectators fill the stadium of the Dynamo Moscow team. A banner in Hebrew hangs above one of the stands: A greeting for the athletes of the State of Israel. The Russian players shake hands with the Israeli players and serve them bouquets of flowers. The Israelis throw the flowers to the fans. The game opens, the Russian team is showing superiority, the Israelis are closing in on defense, and although Israel goalkeeper Yaakov Khodarov is outstanding in his game, Israel is beaten 5-0.
