Background
Neither Dynamo Kyiv nor Ferencváros had contested a European Cup Winners' Cup final before. It was the second time a team from the Soviet Union had reached the final after Dynamo Moscow lost 3–2 to Rangers of Scotland in 1972. It was also the second time that a Hungarian team had reached the final after MTK Budapest lost to Sporting CP of Portugal in 1964.[1]
Dynamo Kyiv lost to Celtic of Scotland in the quarter-finals on their only previous appearance in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965–66.[2]
Ferencváros had played in the competition twice before, losing to Rangers of Scotland in the preliminary round in 1960–61[3] and Sparta Prague of Czechoslovakia in 1972–73.[4]

In the quarter-finals, they faced Bursaspor of Turkey and again won both legs 1–0 away and 2–0 at home to advance 3–0 on aggregate. After beating PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands 3–0 in the first leg at home, Dynamo Kyiv advanced to the final despite a 2–1 loss on the night (4–2 on aggregate).[6]
