1986–87 Torino Calcio season


Season summary 
In order to resolve a lack of goals Torino bought Wim Kieft, who hit the net for several times in every competition. At least in autumn the side paid European efforts, winning only once in Sundays following cup games.

As 1987 begins, UEFA draw coupled Tirol Innsbruck to the side for quarter-finals. First leg ended up in a 0–0 after a match poor of goal opportunities. Torino came to retour challenge in a crisis trend, missing league win from 5 games and goals from 554'. A cold ground, in Austria, hosted the match. Torino stood up at opponent's attacks, finishing the first half without scoring or conceding. As second round started, Tirol went on 1–0 after a quarter: a corner kick originated the goal. With 10 minutes left, Austrian side came to double. Referee was about to blow the end when Francini scored for Torino. 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). European failure could have result in a sacking for Radice who – instead – retained his job.
