The opponents were FC Basel and Lausanne-Sports. The game went down in football history due to the sit-down strike that followed a penalty goal shortly before the end of the match. After 88 minutes of play, with the score at 1–1, referee Karl Göppel awarded Basel a controversial penalty. André Grobéty had pushed Helmut Hauser gently in the back and he had let himself drop theatrically. Hauser scored the decisive penalty. Subsequent to the 2–1 lead for Basel the Lausanne players refused to resume the game and they sat down demonstratively on the pitch. The referee had to abandon the match. Basel were awarded the cup with a 3–0 forfeit. Schmid Andreas W. 2010 http://bazonline.ch/sport/fussball/Ein-klarer-Penalty-Nein-eine-klare-Schwalbe/story/25894760 "Ein klarer Penalty!"

However, because FCB were the 1966–67 Nationalliga A champions they qualified for the 1967–68 European Cup and so Lausanne-Sports qualified as rummers-up for the Cup Winners' Cup. This was FCB's fourth cup title and their first domestic double. Further in Swiss football 1966–67 Nationalliga A 1966–67 Swiss 1. Liga References Sources Rotblau: Jahrbuch Saison 2014/2015.
