On the night of September 11, 1963, a Wednesday, Santos walked into La Bombonera in front of 85,000 Boca Juniors supporters. It was a fanatical crowd, pushing the Argentine team in search of an unprecedented title. The match also set a new revenue record for football games in the Americas: 120,000 dollars.
