The game itself represents the Hajduk Split golden generation of the 1970s and was the ultimate realization of "total football" that Tomislav Ivić forced during that time.
Their football which was guided under coach Tomislav Ivić was considered to be revolutionary in Yugoslavia at the time.
In the 2nd half, Hajduk became more attacking and managed to score 4 more goals from Jerković,Žungul and 2 from Đorđević.
Despite defeating Partizan, Hajduk eventually failed to win the league after there was a scandal in the last round game when Partizan in need of a win to secure the title won against Olimpija scoring in the 95th minute of the game (even though UEFA didn't introduce additional time for another 20 years) thanks to referee Maksimović.
Partizan was crowned champion at the end of the season and Tomislav Ivić decided to leave Hajduk so that he can manage AFC Ajax.
