Rangers celebrated.
Dynamo protested, UEFA ignored the protest, the result stayed. Rightly or wrongly, Dynamo lost. Yes, there was pitch invasion by Rangers' fans, cutting the game a few minutes shorter than regulated time. Yes, there was possiblity for equalizing goal. 
Glasgow Rangers won the Cup – their ony Europen trophy so far. A bit tainted too – nothing wrong with the players, but their fans interupted the final beforev time. Yet, a great success.

Piet Keizer receives the Cup.

The triumphal run of the winners.

Independiente was outplayed, sometimes by their own (dirty) game. No luck this year, so what can be remembered is their unusual kit – blue so dark, it looked like black.

Often this photo is presented as one of the final – yes, the team is the same, but Ajax played entirely in white in Avellaneda. Standing from left: Heinz Stuy, Barry Hulshoff, Wim Suurbier, Blankenburg, Ruud Krol; Bottom : Johan Cruyff, Arie Haan, Sjaak Swart, Johan Neeskens, Gerrie Muhren, Piet Keizer.

Simply the best in the world! They survived threats (Hulshoff had to be assigned as bodyguard to Cruijff in Argentina), dirty play – which they matched fearlessly, tough opponent and got the world crown. They proved they were best of all, but this was the only time the great Ajax played for the Intercontinental Cup.
