1969–70 Swiss Cup

Swiss Cup 1969–70 Switzerland Zürich Basel 1968–69 1970–71 The 1969–70 Swiss Cup was the 45th season of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since 1925–26 by the Swiss Football Association. Overview This season's cup competition began on the weekend of 6 and 7 July 1969, with the first games of the first round. The competition was to be completed on Whit Monday 18 May 1970 with the final, which was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds and entered the competition in the third round. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) were granted byes for the first three rounds. These teams joined the competition in the fourth round, which was played on the week-end of 13 and 14 September. The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the first two rounds, no replays were foreseen, at the end of extra time if the scores were level, a toss of a coin would decide the outcome of the match. After this first stage, from round 3 onwards, in the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would decide the outcome of theses encounters. In this season the quarter-finals and semi-finals were played as two legged fixtures. This was going to be a test, but next season these round were played as single fixtures. The cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season. Round 1 In this first phase, the lower league teams (1. Liga and lower) that had qualified themselves for the competition through their regional football association's regional cup competitions or their association's requirements, competed here. Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The lower-tier team in each drawn tie was granted the home advantage, if they so wished.

This was to be the start of an unusual series, because in the next three seasons the two teams FCZ and FCB would be paired in a final clash twice more and Zürich would come out on top. After this painful start of this trilogy for Basel, with this 1–4 defeat in extra time,they would face a narrow 0–1 defeat next season. Finally, to end this trilogy in three seasons time, FCZ would promptly triumph on Easter Monday, 23 April 1973, again after extra time, to secured their third cup final victory against the same rivals, under the motto "All good things come in threes." bud/sda 2014 https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/fussball-allgemein/dank-geduld-marti-und-kuenzli-cupfinal-1973-fuer-den-fcz-waren-aller-guten-dinge-drei Cupfinal 1973: Für den FCZ waren aller guten Dinge drei Cup Final 1973: For FCZ, all good things came in threes Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) de-ch 2024-11-16 Further in Swiss football 1969–70 Nationalliga A 1969–70 Swiss 1.
