The match became controversial for several hotly contested refereeing decisions.
Leeds United dominated most of the match and had a number of near misses. After three minutes, Bayern's Swedish international defender Björn Andersson had to be replaced by the inexperienced Sepp Weiß after a hard tackle from Terry Yorath, described by German international Uli Hoeneß as the "most brutal foul I think I have ever seen".[1] Andersson only played a handful more matches for Bayern. In the 23rd minute, Bayern captain Franz Beckenbauer was in his own penalty box on the ground and rested on his left arm which subsequently came into contact with the ball. The Leeds players appealed for a penalty, which the French referee Michel Kitabdjian denied. More controversial, however, was when the referee denied Leeds a penalty in the 34th minute after Beckenbauer tripped Allan Clarke, who was attacking the Bayern goal from the left wing and seemed ready to round Bayern goalkeeper Sepp Maier. The first half also saw Uli Hoeneß suffer a serious knee injury in the 37th minute after turning awkwardly on the pitch, which would ultimately bring his career to a premature end in 1979 at the age of 27, at which time he began his career in club management; he went on to become president of Bayern. He was replaced in this match by one-time German international Klaus Wunder.
In the 62nd minute, Billy Bremner was denied from five metres by a reflex of Sepp Maier in the Bayern goal. Less than a minute later a goal by Peter Lorimer was disallowed, due to Bremner being in a tight passive offside position in front of the goal at the six-yard box. Referee Michel Kitabdjian initially pointed to the centre circle (indicating a goal) and then Beckenbauer convinced him to consult with the linesman who had run back to the halfway line and had not raised his flag. Thereupon, the referee indicated offside against Bremner. This decision caused riots to break out as 'people realised that they were really being cheated'.
After a match interruption Roth finished off a counter-attack in the 71st minute by taking the lead for Bayern after a short pass from Conny Torstensson. This completely derailed Leeds, and 10 minutes later another counter led to a second goal for Bayern through Gerd Müller after a cross from the right side by Jupp Kapellmann. This put the match completely beyond the reach of Leeds.
The violence saw Leeds banned from Europe for four years, although this was reduced to two years on appeal. Ultimately, this ban was never applied due to a decline in the performance of the club in the late 1970s preventing European qualification until 1979–80.
However, due to the violence, which included "skirmishes in the city and damage to private property" according to journalist Geoffrey Green, as well as damage to a £50,000 camera and a lost eye and a broken arm to German media workers, UEFA were apparently considering abandonment of the competition altogether.
