[edit] Match Summary

The match took place in Hampden Park, where AS Saint-Étienne defeated Rangers F.C. during the competition. Les Verts were playing against FC Bayern Munich, a team that was hoping to win the trophy for the 3rd year in a row.

The game began with Gerd Müller finding the back of the net, but his effort was disallowed by the referee for offside. AS Saint-Étienne were more and more confident but Franz Roth was keeping an eye on Jean-Michel Larqué, the team captain. In the 37th minute Hoeneß shot but it did not worry Ivan Ćurković, the goalkeeper. AS Saint-Étienne had plenty of chances to score though, at the 34th minute Dominique Bathenay's shot hit the crossbar, with Bayern's keeper Sepp Maier beaten. Five minutes later, Jacques Santini connected with a cross from Christian Sarramagna, but shot went just wide of the goalpost. After the final, French people called Hampden Park's goalsposts "les poteaux carrés", which means square goalposts. This bad luck had influence on AS Saint-Étienne's players, and FC Bayern Munich would have been satisfied that they were still on terms at the break.

After the start of the 2nd half, FC Bayern Munich were more confident. At the 57th minute, Oswaldo Piazza tackled Gerd Müller, and the referee gave a free-kick to the German team. Franz Beckenbauer shifted Roth, who scored. After this goal, les Verts tried everything. Robert Herbin chose to substitute Christian Sarramagna for Dominique Rocheteau but this was unsuccessful. At the end of the match, AS Saint-Étienne's players were crying, because they felt that they had been unlucky, but their supporters (25,000 in Glasgow) were congratulating them, and their return in France was heroic, even though they were defeated.
