This was the last European club tournament final staged at the old Wembley, as it was going to be rebuilt to an all-new stadium.

Both sides went into the final chasing their first piece of European silverware and the match was the first time Parma faced Belgian opposition.

But Antwerp replied within two minutes, Alex Czerniatynski played a through-ball to Francis Severeyns who shot past the goalkeeper left footed to level the scores.

The Italians began to dominate the game and Alessandro Melli headed them 2–1 ahead after half an hour after a cross from the right.

The game was put beyond Antwerp six minutes from time when Stefano Cuoghi curled a shot past the goalkeeper from inside the area.
