Note:

1-Final cap for Stefan Engels (8/0) (1982-1983).

2-Rummenigge scored a goal disallowed for offside in the 69th minute.

After the match, he claimed that even some of the Austrian players had told him it was a valid goal.

3-Despite opposition from most of the players, Bernd Schuster played in both matches as both Derwall and DfB President Hermann Neuberger overruled the protests.

Internazionale Milan had initially refused to release Hansi Muller for these matches (as well as the previous match vs. Albania), however they were forced to do so due to UEFA regulations.
