Penalty for Londrina
Ernani Buchman

Tale a fact here, so that not happened, this happens to be a historical version.
Early sixties, there were Apucarana Londrina and decide a championship in the region.
Apucarana game, to be transmitted to Londrina. The problem was that two radios were the sports coverage, but there was between the two cities no more than a line for transmission. The remedy was to make a draw. And as often happens with raffles, won the radio that kept 20% of the audience. The other, Paiquerê, which held the remaining 80%, was in the dust, Or almost: his announcer, Willy Gonzer, known as much for their competence as by switching over station and city gypsy fled, decided to use an old radio resource formerly: dub the game.
At least started, is to stay in the studio, microphones in the ears, repeating what he hears from another radio announcer.
A piracy justifiable, because the sponsors team sports Paiquerê could not get off the air, just in deciding the championship.
Run the game in Apucarana.
Champion who would win. The whole attack is Apucarana.
In the studio, Willy Gonzer holds the audience as if he were in the stadium. The game comes to an end.
No goals, but Apucarana keeps insisting.
Until now passed forty minutes from time, left the ball to a Northwind any escape toward the goal of Apucarana.
Entered the area in that situation you describe how it Nireu Teixeira, the goalkeeper, the beams and God. And was overthrown.
If it had not been so outrageous, his honesty would not have scored that no judge football is crazy enough to bet his own scalp.
But there was no way. Penalty in favor of Londrina.
Willy Gonzer narrated the penalty loudly when there was a power outage. And goodbye to radio signal coming from Apucarana.
Silence on the other side, not in the studio Paiquerê. Willy continued broadcasting.
Spoke complaints from players Apucarana, the fury of the crowd, the crowd's expectation of Londrina, present at the stadium. And none of the signal back.
Waited a good ten minutes, until there was no way.
It was necessary to beat the goalkeeper. And remembering that the striker had Gauchinho strikes ten penalties in that tournament without missing any, Willy had no doubt: using the player's name, took the liberty to hit the fault and make the goal.
Cried, celebrated and began to hear the rockets burst in the city. And none of the signal back.
Kept the audience attentive few more minutes, until forced to close the game.
Admittedly for those who had made the goal, finish a game was not the most difficult task. And the signal does not come back, as there never returned.
Who's back was the team of Londrina, received at the entrance of the city by a delirious crowd to celebrate winning the championship, to the astonishment of the delegation.
Gauchinho that afternoon in Apucarana, had missed the first penalty shot of his career.
Willy Gonzer was, as an anonymous supporter, check out the team's arrival.
And before hearing the death sentence decreed against him, right there got a wife and small child and went for a job in another city state apart.
Reportedly there in Londrina, until today, fans unhappy that give each game, the cabins radio announcers present.
Have not had the luck to find there the creative Willy.
