Description: The Final of the 1978 FIFA World Cup was contested between host Argentina and The Netherlands. The match was won by the Argentines in extra time by a score of 3-1. 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.25 June 197815:00 Netherlands 1 – 3 (a.e.t.)
