1:0 Mario Kempes (38.)
1:1 Dick Nanninga (80.)
2:1 Mario Kempes (105.)
3:1 Daniel Bertoni (115.)

The Final of the 1978 World Cup was contested between host Argentina and The Netherlands. The match was won by the Argentines in extra time by a score of 31. Mario Kempes, who finished as the tournament's top scorer, was named the man of the match. The Netherlands lost their second World Cup final in a row, both times to the host nation, after losing to West Germany in 1974.

The final is mired in some controversy as the Dutch accused the Argentines of using stalling tactics to delay the match. The host team came out late and questioned the legality of a plaster cast on René van de Kerkhof's wrist, which the Dutch claimed allowed tension to build in front of a hostile Buenos Aires crowd. The Netherlands refused to attend the post-match ceremonies after the match ended.

  • @1111Biggles Those soldiers weren't conscripted, English asshole, they were brave, courageous Argentines who fought to take those islands thaat rightfully belong to us.

  • We saw the real argentina a few years later in the Falklands conflict. Corrupt dictators sending conscripted boys to there deaths. I see the present regime is also now sabre rattling once again over the islands.

  • KINGofSOCCERhistory ??? FOOTBALL!!!! learn some shit.

  • @matitias1 forget who fixed the world cup games ..you need to fix your spelling XD

  • fix the game v peru. Italy were best team in 78.

  • @matitias1@dutchmaican so when the final of 78 Argentina vs Holland (netherlands if u want) the netherlands were fatigued thus easier to defeat. Its true even the police didnt interfere with the riots outside of the hotel.

  • @matitias1@dutchmaican you guys may or may not know but for the WC final of 78 Argentinians made noises outside of the hotel of Holland
