Match

Summary

The final is regarded as the best Intercontinental Cup ever played, due to the technical virtues of both teams. Despite Juventus arriving in Tokyo as the favorites to win the match, Argentinos Juniors' performance surprised everyone due to its style of play, efficacy and the outstanding performance of 20-year old forward Claudio Borghi, the most notable player of his team.

After their triumph in the competition, Juventus became the first football team ever—remained the only one until 2022—to have won all official continental competitions and the world title.

Also, Italian defenders Gaetano Scirea and Antonio Cabrini became the first European footballers to have won all international club competitions and Giovanni Trapattoni, the first European manager in association football history to do so.

French midfielder Michel Platini was awarded as man of the match.
