Story:

April 19, 1978 was a historic date for UD Las Palmas. The yellow team was in a Copa del Rey final for the first time. Facing them was the all-powerful FC Barcelona captained by the legendary Dutch player Johan Cruyff. Las Palmas had knocked Sporting de Gijón out of the water in the semi-finals with a goal in extra time from Brindisi. The 3-2 at El Molinón gave the Gran Canarians their ticket to Madrid after having won the first leg at the Estadio Ínsular by two goals to nil. At that time, the double value of goals in away fields did not exist.


Barcelona would win the title after winning 3-1, with two goals from Rexach, the first from a penalty (min. 9), the third from a direct free kick in the minute (28). Asensi, in the 15th minute, had made it 2-0, but Miguel Ángel Brindisi shortened the gap in the 20th minute with an extraordinary shot with his left foot, which surprised goalkeeper Mora. All the goals came in the first half. The yellow scorers Morete and Maciel had arrived at this transcendent encounter with physical problems that they later showed during the match, which had referee Franco Martínez as the protagonist for some decisions that harmed the yellows.
