1974 American Soccer League

*Boston Astros forfeit for refusing to play overtime.

[2] The ASL championship was set as a two-match aggregate, with overtime to be played after the second leg to break a tie.

With the first overtime completed, a violent thunderstorm flooded the field and knocked out the stadium lights, effectively ending the match.

After the Oceaneers' Rich Kratzer tied it late in regulation, the teams again went to extra time.

In the second half of extra time Rhode Island got goals from Mohammad Attiah and Charlie McCully for the win, before New York added a final tally late.
