[Daily article] November 6: 1981 UEFA Cup Final

The 1981 UEFA Cup Final was an association football match played over
two legs between AZ '67 of the Netherlands and Ipswich Town of England.
It was the final of the 1980–81 season of European cup competition,
the UEFA Cup. Both Ipswich and AZ '67 were appearing in their first
European cup final. Watched by a crowd of 27,532 on 6 May at Ipswich's
home ground, Portman Road (pictured), Ipswich won the first leg 3–0;
John Wark, Frans Thijssen and Paul Mariner scored. In the second leg at
the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam on 20 May, a crowd of 28,500 watched
Ipswich take an early lead courtesy of a Thijssen goal. AZ '67 quickly
equalised through Kurt Welzl before taking the lead after a goal from
Johnny Metgod. Wark scored again for Ipswich to equalise the leg, but
AZ '67 struck back through Pier Tol and Jos Jonker. Ipswich won the
final 5–4 on aggregate to win their first and, as of 2020, only
European trophy.

Wikiquote quote of the day:

  The presidency itself is not a partisan institution. It's the
one office in this nation that represents everyone and it demands a duty
of care for all Americans. That is precisely what I will do. I will work
as hard for those who didn't vote for me as I will for those who did
vote for me. Now, every vote must be counted. No one's going to take
our democracy away from us, not now, not ever. America's come too far.
America's fought too many battles. America's endured too much to
ever let that happen. We the people will not be silenced. We the people
will not be bullied. We the people will not surrender. My friends, I'm
confident we'll emerge victorious. But this will not be my victory
alone or our victory alone. It'll be a victory for the American
people, for our democracy, for America.
