It was the first time that the match was held outside Athens or Thessaloniki Prefecture. It is characteristic that Aris had already been relegated to the second division during his presence in the final, with the result that the competitive and psychologically superior Olympiacos reached the conquest of the cup and consequently the double, while Dušan Bajević reached the 4th cup win as a coach. The following season, Aris, as a cup finalist played in the UEFA Cup thus becoming the first and only second division team in Greece that ever competed in any European competition.
