In April 2009, the Mexican football league ordered three games in the capital, Mexico City, to be played behind closed doors. A week later, they said that all professional matches – down to the third division – would be played without spectators. Castilla CF, who are Real Madrid’s reserve side and play in the second division, sensationally made it to the final of the 1980 Copa Del Rey, where they were beaten 6-1 by the mother club, so to say.
