Previously, as if he hadn't warmed up enough, Toma had fought a battle of 8'39 (!) against the German Udsilauri (21 years old/n°34), whom he had beaten last year at the World Cup, in Doha, and at the Euro, in Montpellier. From start to finish, the Brussels player was the most enterprising, but had a narrow escape at the start of overtime, when his opponent destabilized him. Fortunately, Toma landed on his stomach and not his back… As he began to struggle, the referee ended up sanctioning the German with a third penalty for passivity. It was time !
