The opponents were FC Basel and Lausanne-Sports.
The game went down in football history due to the sit-down strike that followed a penalty goal shortly before the end of the match.
After 88 minutes of play, with the score at 1–1, referee Karl Göppel awarded Basel a controversial penalty.
André Grobéty had pushed Helmut Hauser gently in the back and he had let himself drop theatrically.
Subsequent to the 2–1 lead for Basel the Lausanne players refused to resume the game and they sat down demonstratively on the pitch.
