Sevilla rounded off their best ever season, beating cup final debutants Getafe 1-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to add the Copa del Rey to the European Supercup and UEFA cup titles. It was the fourth time they had won the Spanish cup, although the last time was back in 1948.

It was a hard fought and at times bad tempered match though, with heavy tackles in particular from the Getafe players, who had learnt the lesson against Barcelona in their semi-final. The Madrid based team could have taken the lead early on, Güiza failing to beat Palop in the sixth minute when he broke free but could not round the keeper. Just four minutes later though Kanouté won the ball off Pulido and ran on to fire a shot low past Luis García to open the scoring.

The Getafe keeper did well to keep out Renato midway through the first half, and Luis Fabiano headed another chance wide soon afterwards. But Bernd Schuster's side thought they should have had a couple of penalties, in particular one by Renato 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, and Duda drove a late shot just wide of the upright, but the last few minutes were played out in the Andalusians' half as Getafe fought bravely for the equaliser. Manu fired a shot way over the bar when through though and Güiza was way off target with another effort, and even though Kanouté was sent off for retaliating near the end they never really troubled Palop.

When the final whistle went the Getafe players surrounded referee Rodríguez Santiago, and Celestini was shown a red card for protesting. Eventually though they had to collect their losers medals, which comes with a consolation prize of a first ever place in the UEFA cup for next season. Sevilla though keep going, the only club in Europe to win three titles this season, and who is to say what they can achieve in the Champions League next year. The sky's the limit!
