{{main article|1974 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA–CONMEBOL play-off)}}

The teams would play against each other on a home-and-away basis, with the winner qualifying to the finals.

The second leg was scratched as the [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet Union]] were disqualified after they refused to travel to Santiago for the return leg due to the [[1973 Chilean coup d'état]] and the executions of left-wing prisoners in the Santiago stadium. The match did "go ahead" with the eleven Chilean players facing zero Soviet players before thousands of bemused spectators,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.planetworldcup.com/GUESTS/peter20020103.html|title = Planet World Cup - Peter Goldstein (Columnist) Jan 03 2002}}</ref> and half a dozen Chilean players slowly passed the ball to each other in mock play until the captain walked the ball into the net.
