On that day in 1936, the shops were closing at noon. It was an order. It was also true that neither winner nor loser emerged from the match played on the afternoon of November 3. The result is a scandalous and fraudulent six-for-six. Nobody complained. According to the chronicles, it was a match “between players who were brothers in ideology and social desires.” In the Bardin stadium, the voice of the International was heard after just over three months of war. Also the Riego anthem. There were no political leaders, rather the players were all that remained of that magnificent squad that had finished sixth in its first League match six months earlier. Hercules was facing a group of sailors from the Russian merchant ship Transvalt, which had docked at the port to bring supplies and clothing. It was a party, after the end the people occupied the field and of course the Soviet players dressed in red came out on their shoulders.
