The final was played between Olimpia Asunción of Paraguay (winners of the 1979 Copa Libertadores) and Malmö FF of Sweden (runners-up of the 1978–79 European Cup), with Olimpia emerging as the champion after a 3–1 aggregate score win. Malmö FF took its place as the runners-up of the European competition since the European champions Nottingham Forest declined to play the final. __TOC__ Match details First leg , valign="top" width="50%", ---- Second leg , valign="top" width="50%", See also *1979 Copa Libertadores * 1978–79 European Cup * Malmö FF in European football References External links1979 Intercontinental Cupat RSSSF by Osvaldo José Gorgazzi {{DEFAULTSORT:Interconti ...
