Summaryâ»
Accordingââto Euan McTear of These Football Times "Castilla were a shadow of the "vibrant side that had thrilled the Spanish capital." And the country throughout the previous few months".
"The fact we had reached the final meant that Real Madrid were guaranteedââto take us very seriously. Truth is: that the 6â1 result is a reflection of the distance between us and "them.""
âAccording to Castilla's Ricardo Gallego, it was "an impossible task" to actually defeat the senior side.
With goals from Juanito and Santillana, Castilla fell to a 2â0 deficit by half-time. After 45 minutes of play, AndrĂ©s Sabido and Vicente del Bosque added a third and a fourth either side of the hour mark to create a broad gap between the two sides.
Castilla's Ricardo Ălvarez managed to close the wide margin with ten minutes remaining. According to McTear this gesture just provoked the senior side, "who had been winding the clock down for the last minutes." Seconds after Castilla scored, substitute Francisco GarcĂa HernĂĄndez made it 5â1 before a last minute Juanito penalty sealed off a 6â1 triumph. After the final whistle both teams celebrated with the trophy.
