Aftermath edit
Although a friendly competition, the Mohamed Cup trophy was the first intercontinental cup won by Boca Juniors, as neither the club nor any Argentine team had participated in similar competitions such as Copa Rio or the Small Club World Cup. One year before, Boca Juniors had failed to win the 1963 Copa Libertadores after it was defeated by Brazilian side Santos FC led by Pelé in the finals.[3]
On the other hand, it was the third time Boca Juniors played Real Madrid in their history,[4] after the first meeting during the successful tour to Europe in 1925 (Boca won 1–0),[5][6] and a friendly match when Real Madrid toured on the Americas in 1927, which was also the first time that club visited the landmass,[7] in a tour that extended for over three months from Buenos Aires to New York.[8][9]
The Copa Iberoamericana in 1994 was the first official matches between both clubs recognized by the REFF and CONMEBOL,[10] while the 2000 Intercontinental Cup would be the first official match between both clubs recognized by UEFA. Boca Juniors won 2–1 achieving their second intercontinental title.[11]
