Spanish cup final

Sevilla 1 - Getafe 0

Sevilla rounded off their best ever season, beating Getafe 1-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to add the Copa del Rey to the European Supercup and UEFA cup titles.

It was a hard fought and at times bad tempered match though, and Güiza should have beaten Palop before Kanouté won the ball off Pulido and ran on to score in the tenth minute. Luis García did well to keep out Renato and Luis Fabiano headed another chance wide, but Bernd Schuster's side thought they should have had a couple of penalties, in particular one on Manu close to half time which set off a heated argument between the players at the break.

Luis García had a couple of saves to make after the restart, in particular from Kanouté and Jesús Navas, but the last few minutes were played out in the Andalusians' half as Getafe fought bravely for the equaliser. However even though Kanouté was sent off for retaliating near the end they never really troubled Palop, and they had to settle for the consolation prize of a place in the UEFA cup for next season.
