UEFA Euro 1976 qualifying Group 5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group 5 of the UEFA Euro 1976 qualifying tournament was one of the eight groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 1976 finals tournament. Group 5 consisted of four teams: Netherlands, Poland, Italy, and Finland, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners were the Netherlands, who finished tied on points with Poland, but the Netherlands advanced with a better goal difference. Italy finished in third place despite conceding only 3 goals (all in the game lost in the Netherlands) as a consequence of the abysmal 3 goals scored in the 6 games.
