The Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands met again in 1974 ⚽️, only this time without superstar Beckenbauer and the Netherlands without superstar Cruyf. In this match, the 1974 World Cup was played by Hozenbairn (Herzenbein), Bonhof, Vogtz (manager of the 1996 European Championship winner Germany), Mayer, and the Netherlands by Rensenbrink, Rep, Janssen, Ali Hahn (the Chinese men's football coach who succeeded Milou) and Klor. Hans Müller and Fischer of the Federal Republic of Germany and Neskens of the Netherlands are all unavailable due to injury.

This German-Dutch battle was the opposite of the last German-Dutch battle, with the Federal Republic of Germany scoring first and Abramsik scoring the Dutch goal.

Dutch midfielder Ali Hahn (who succeeded Milou's head coach of the Chinese men's team) once again staged a world wave classic, with a long-range shot from 25 meters away to break the goal of the Federal German team guarded by Mayer. The Netherlands equalised the scoreline.

Federal defender Vogtz (head coach of Euro 1996 champions) successfully targeted Dutch superstar Cruyff in 1974 and Rensenbrink, the core of the Dutch team, in 1978.

Dieter Müller of the Federal Republic of Germany received a cross from Beale and a header flung into the Dutch goal, giving the Federal Republic a 2-1 lead over the Netherlands.

Dutch defender Roller volleyed a volley and the ball bounced off the post of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Netherlands launched a tidal wave of attacks on the Federal Republic of Germany, and striker Repp volleyed off the goal crossbar of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Dutch newcomer Rene van der Korkhofer burst into the Federal German penalty area, dodged goalkeeper Mayer and defender Kartz in succession, and swung a clever shot past defender Rusmann to break the goal of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Netherlands drew 2-2 with the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Federal Republic of Germany unexpectedly lost 2-3 to Austria in the last game, with only 2 points and at a disadvantage; Austria scored three points and had one goal difference, so Germany and Austria together failed to finish in the top four.
