The day before the final, Weisweiler announced that Netzer would not be in the starting lineup, as Weisweiler was already planning for Netzer's absence. To Weisweiler, Netzer replied, "that's brave of you". At the same time Netzer had to admit internally that the decision was justified due to concerns over his fitness. For his replacement, Weisweiler brought on Herbert Wimmer as central midfielder and team captain. 1.

Netzer was on the bench, but the Borussia fans demanded he be substituted on. Cameras were trained on him, watching his every movement. During the entire first half, spectators at the Rheinstadion demanded to see Netzer subbed in. At half-time Weisweiler wanted to substitute Netzer on, but he rejected this, saying, "better that it not be me". In the 58th minute, Gladbach attacker Jupp Heynckes was fouled by Jupp Kapellmann inside the box, and referee Kurt Tschenscher awarded a penalty. Contrary to the old football rule, Heynckes himself took the penalty, and saw it saved by Köln goalkeeper Gerhard Welz. Protests that Welz had moved too early were dismissed by the referee. Further into the second half, Köln twice hit the crossbar via Jürgen Glowacz in the 67th minute and Heinz Flohe in the 81st minute. In the 86th minute, a shot by Gladbach's Heynckes also hit the woodwork. However, at the end of 90 minutes the score remained level at 1–1, and extra time was required.Dino Reisner: DFB-Pokal: Tore, Dramen, Sensationen aus 60 Jahren Spitzenfußball, Stiebner Verlag GmbH, 2011,S. 63 As the game went to extra time, Netzer spoke to the exhausted Christian Kulik, asking whether he still felt fit. Upon Kulik expressing doubt, Netzer took off his training jacket, went to Weisweiler, and informed him that he would be substituting himself in for Kulik, saying "I'll play now then". In the 94th minute, minutes after his substitution, Netzer scored what would be the winning goal with his second touch of the match following a wall pass with teammate Rainer Bonhof. Netzer later admitted that he took the ball "completely wrong" with the outer instep, thereby out of reach of the keeper Welz. He called it "the luckiest moment of my football career", because it was "meant" to go awry.Er spielte doch. https://web.archive.org/web/20141213223031/http://www.dfbpokal-walkoffame.de/pokalheld/guenter-netzer/ 13 December 2014 dfbpokal-walkoffame.de His winning goal was later voted Goal of the Month for June 1973 and Goal of the Year for 1973.
