1974 – Feyenoord 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur FC (agg: 4-2)
Having drawn 2-2 in London, Feyenoord had two away goals in their back pocket when they faced Spurs in the second leg.

1975 – FC Twente 1-5 VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (agg: 1-5)
Twente held high hopes of success after holding their German opponents to a goalless draw in the first encounter, but how cruelly they were dashed in a disastrous return on home soil in Enschede. Jupp Heynckes returned from injury to devastating effect, as his hat-trick inspired Mönchengladbach to a crushing victory. Within nine minutes, Twente were 2-0 down, with Allan Simonsen scoring the first before Heynckes opened his account. By the hour mark, the Germany striker had added two more to make it 4-0. Epi Drost did pull one back 14 minutes from the end with a long-range effort, but Simonsen converted a penalty to seal the rout.

1978 – PSV Eindhoven 3-0 SC Bastia (agg: 3-0)
After a goalless draw in Corsica, the decisive second leg in Eindhoven was dominated by PSV. The home side took the lead 24 minutes in when Willy van de Kerkhof played a one-two with Gerrie Deijkers and shot low past Patrick Hiard. Bastia were eventually finished off in a two-minute second-half spell. First Henricus Lubse headed a free-kick into the path of Deijkers, who volleyed in his second goal. The celebrations had barely ended when PSV captain Willy van der Kuijlen turned a cross on to the post, and was then first to the rebound to remove any doubts about the outcome.

1981 – AZ Alkmaar 4-2 Ipswich Town FC (agg: 4-5)
Having won 3-0 at home, it seemed Ipswich were safe after just three minutes of the return as Frans Thijssen scored from an Eric Gates corner.

Pierre van Hooijdonk clinically dispatched the spot-kick to give the hosts the lead. It got even better for Feyenoord seven minutes later when Van Hooijdonk's curling free-kick went in. Dortmund were handed a lifeline a minute after the break with a penalty of their own, scored by Marcio Amoroso, alhtough Tomasson immediately restored Feyenoord's two-goal cushion with a calm finish. Dortmund would not lie down, Jan Koller volleying them back in it before Feyenoord battened down the hatches to edge a thriller.
