saw Spurs meet Benfica in Malaga and end in retaining the trophy
sometime into the next day after the game kicked off at 11.15 p.m.
Tottenham took the lead in the 15th minute through Jimmy Greaves
when Gilzean provided the chance for the striker to round a defender and
crash his shot past Costa Pereira in goal.

the Portuguese side level soon after. It was left to winger Jimmy
Robertson to net the winner with 25 minutes remaining to see Spurs win
the competition. The Scottish winger raced away from three
defenders and slipped the ball through the keeper's legs to net the
