Season summary

In order to resolve a lack of goals Torino bought Wim Kieft,^[1] who hit the net for several times in every competition.^[2]^[3] At least in autumn the side paid European efforts, winning only once in Sundays following cup games.^[4]^[5]^[6]

As 1987 begins, UEFA draw coupled Tirol Innsbruck to the side for quarter-finals.^[7] First leg ended up in a 0–0 after a match poor of goal opportunities.^[8] Torino came to retour challenge in a crisis trend, missing league win from 5 games and goals from 554'.^[9] A cold ground, in Austria, hosted the match.^[10] Torino stood up at opponent's attacks, finishing the first half without scoring or conceding.^[10] As second round started, Tirol went on 1–0 after a quarter:^[10] a corner kick originated the goal.^[10] With 10 minutes left, Austrian side came to double.^[10] Referee was about to blow the end when Francini scored for Torino.^[10] The same defender came close to equalizer, but a foul on him was not punished with a penalty (probably because he hit the ball before falling down).^[10] European failure could have result in a sacking for Radice who – instead – retained his job.^[11]
