1971 Intercontinental Cup

The 1971 Intercontinental Cup was a football tie held over two legs in December 1971 between the runners up of the 1970-71 European Cup, Panathinaikos (European Cup winners Ajax declined to participate), and Nacional, winners of the 1971 Copa Libertadores.

The first leg was held on 15 September 1971 at the Karaiskakis Stadium, home of Panathinaikos, as Panathinaikos ground was deemed unsuitable. The match finished up as a 1-1 draw. The goals came from Totis Filakouris in the 48th minute and Luis Artime in the 50th minute. Julio Morales broke the leg of Giannis Tomaras and sent off.

Estadio Centenario hosted the return leg 15 days later on 29 September 1971. Nacional won the second leg 2-1. The goal came from Luis Artime in the 34th minute and 74th minute and Antonis Antoniadis 89th minute.
