User:SaltisfordRover/1970 African Cup of Champions Clubs Final

The 1970 African Cup of Champions Clubs Final was the final tie of the 1970 African Cup of Champions Clubs held in Kumasi, Ghana and Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was the 6th African Cup of Champions Clubs competition, held to determine the world champion among national men's football sides. The match was contested by the Netherlands and West Germany, with West Germany winning 2–1. The Netherlands opened the scoring via a Johan Neeskens penalty in the second minute, only for Paul Breitner to equalise with another penalty in the 25th minute before Gerd Müller scored the winning goal in the 43rd minute, claiming West Germany's second FIFA World Cup.

This was a repeat of the final of 1967, won by Englebert. For both teams, 1967 was their first appearance in the final. In 1970, Kotoko were making their first return to the final. Englebert had been in every final since 1967, winning against Etoile Filante in 1968 and losing to Ismaily in 1969. In 2024, Al Ahly reached a fifth consecutive final, bettering Englebert's run of four.
