Overview

This competition was suggested by the clubs and supported by the federations of each country, with the federation that hosted the second leg offering the trophy. [2]

In the first leg, which was held on 17 August at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, the home team took the lead in the 16th minute thanks to Miguel Sola, but Benfica found an equalizer just 15 minutes later via Nené. The game looked to be heading to a draw until the hosts found a late winner through Miguel de Andrés. [3] [4]

In the second leg, which was held on 24 August at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Benfica took advantage of playing at home to score three unanswered goals in the first half, and even though Bilbao scored a consolation goal in the second, it was not enough to stop Benfica from being crowned champions after losing 2–1 in Spain and winning 3–1 in Portugal. [1] [5] [6] [7] Between both matches, Benfica also played the 1983 Taça de Portugal final, defeating their rivals FC Porto 1–0 in their own stadium at Antas. [2]
