On September 4, 1960, the Real Madrid champion of the first Intercontinental Cup against the Peñarol of Montevideo was proclaimed. The whites beat the winner of the Copa Libertadores in a double match eliminator. The first leg was played at the home of the Uruguayans and both teams tied to zero.

The return at the Bernabéu was totally different and the Real Madrid prevailed with solvency before his fans by 5-1. The whites had a great start and in the first ten minutes they scored three goals. Puskas, twice, and Say Stefano, by deflecting a shot from the Hungarian, they made these goals. The result was completed later by Herrera and Gento.
