SPAIN DIVISION 2:12B3T Gimnastic Tarragona VS CD Guadalajara 11/19 4AM(GMT+8)
Gimnastic Tarragona: The team finished its debut first division season in seventh place, with the highlight of the season coming on 11 January 1948, with a 3–1 win against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, thus becoming the first team ever to do so. The club played two further seasons in the top level, being relegated in 1949–50 after losing a play-off to CD Alcoyano; it moved to the new Nou Estadi in 1972.In 2006–07, Gimnàstic returned to the top flight, 56 years later. Along with coach Luis César Sampedro remained some of the players responsible for the promotion, as veteran Antonio Pinilla, and Albano Bizarri, Rubén Castro, Ariza Makukula and Javier Portillo (eventually the team's top scorer), were also brought in. However, the club was placed in the relegation zone for 33 of the 38 rounds, eventually dropping down a division; Sampedro was replaced in midseason by Paco Flores, who improved the team's numbers but could not avoid relegation.
CD Guadalajara: During the 1956 season, players such as Salvador "Chava" Reyes, Jaime "El Tubo" Gomez, Isidoro Lopez, and Jose Villegas were part of what is considered one of the finest teams in Mexican football history, El Campeonisimo. Guadalajara won its first championship during this season due to a last minute goal scored by Salvador Reyes. Led by coaches such as Donald Russ and Javier de la Torre in subsequent years, the team won seven league championships, two cups, three CONCACAF titles and seven Champion of Champions titles. It was the only team in Mexico's football history to win four league championships in a row, during the 1958–59, 1959–60, 1960–61, and 1961–62 seasons. El Campeonisimo became internationally recognized and, in 1964 played several matches in Europe against such teams as FC Barcelona, Werder Bremen, and Lille Olympique, resulting in two victories, four draws and four losses for the team.
