Both finalists' second-round ties went to a
play-off match. After drawing 2–2 on aggregate against
Belgian side
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Dinamo won the decisive replay 3–2. The replay was held at a neutral venue, the
Gugl-Stadion in
Linz, Austria. Meanwhile, holders Valencia blew a four-goal lead in the second leg away to
Dunfermline Athletic–– a side managed by future
Celtic boss
Jock Stein–– which left the tie deadlocked at 6–6.
Los Che won 1–0 in their replay, which was played at the neutral
Estádio do Restelo in
Lisbon. (This was before the institution of the
away goals rule in UEFA competitions.) Perhaps a bit unusually, the first three opponents that Valencia faced in the competition were all clubs from
Scotland. ==Match details==
