A recent post asked about claims that a truce was called during the Civil War because of this match. Sifting through the comments on that thread, it turns out there was no official truce however many folks listened in on Radio Nigeria across the country and including Biafra.
The match ended 2-2 with Pele scoring both goals for Santos. Military Governor of Lagos Mobolaji Johnson, his wife, and I believe Oba Oyekan are visible in the stands at about the 2:28 point.

Thanks to those who went to their personal archive and produced a video they recorded of the game.
