Background Real Madrid had extensive experience in European competitions. They had previously made it to the final of the European Cup Winners ' Cup in 1971 against English club Chelsea. The match was a 1 -- 1 draw after extra time, with Chelsea winning 2 -- 1 in the replay. They had more success in the European Cup, having won the competition during its inaugural year in 1956, and retained the trophy for the following four seasons. Their most recent European success had come in the 1965 -- 66 European Cup, where they defeated Partizan Belgrade. The 1983 European Cup Winners ' Cup was the first European final in which Aberdeen had appeared. Only two clubs from Scotland had previously won European trophies, Celtic and Rangers. Prior to the match, some of Aberdeen 's supporters travelled to Gothenburg by fishing boat from Scotland, whilst others slept on the streets next to the stadium. Real Madrid player Uli Stielike was recovering from a thigh injury prior to the match, but was cleared by the club 's doctors. Likewise, Aberdeen 's Eric Black was declared fit to play for this match after being injured for a month. Aberdeen full - back Stuart Kennedy was named as a substitute, despite being injured in the Semi-Final and unable to play, as a mark of respect from Alex Ferguson. Kennedy 's injury proved to be so severe that he never played professionally again. Match Summary First half Prior to the match, the pitch had been covered by tarpaulin in order to protect it from the rain. The referee made an inspection of the pitch prior to kick - off and determined that the surface was fit to play upon. The match started, and Aberdeen immediately went on the attack. Madrid 's goalkeeper Agustín misdirected a goal kick, Gordon Strachan broke away from his marker and chested the ball down. He lobbed the ball forward to Eric Black who hit a twenty - yard volley towards the Madrid goal. Agustín saved the shot, tipping it onto the crossbar of the goalframe. Strachan took the corner, crossing it to Alex McLeish. The ball deflected off McLeish 's head, and Black pounced on the ball sending it into the back of the Real Madrid goal to put Aberdeen up 1 -- 0. The conditions on the pitch started to get muddy very quickly, which partially resulted in Madrid 's comeback. Alex McLeish of Aberdeen passed the ball back to goalkeeper Jim Leighton, but it became stuck in the mud part way in the penalty area. Leighton rushed out from the goal line to claim the ball but took down Madrid striker Santillana in the process. A penalty was awarded by the referee. Real 's captain Juanito scored the penalty to put Madrid level. Madrid dominated the remainder of the half, with John Metgod and Uli Stielike looking particular comfortable in defense and midfield, respectively. Second half The teams were equally matched during the first part of the second half. Strachan led another Aberdeen attack in the 55th minute, passing it to Peter Weir who took the ball down the flank. His cross back to Strachan was met by a volley, but it deflected off Agustín 's legs. Aberdeen immediately attacked once more, with Weir moving again down the flank, but his cross was met with a header by Black who sent the ball over after already moving into an offside position. In the 80th minute, Weir created another opening with a further cross. This time it was caught by Agustín. But the goalkeeper momentarily dropped the ball, but dove onto it before any Aberdeen players could take advantage of the mistake. Extra time Normal time finished at 1 -- 1, sending the match into extra time. The winning goal came in the 112th minute. Weir passed the ball to Mark McGhee, who took the ball down the left wing. He crossed it into the box towards substitute John Hewitt. He threw himself into the path of the ball and connected with a glancing header to put Aberdeen ahead once more.
