Have tried this so many times and reread the rules.
Anybody winning this scenario can explain me how to be slightly over before nightfall ????

Sorry, "slightly over before nightfall" is what I achieve, meant doing better than that !

After several tries, all of which involved sending cavalry around the flanking bodies of woods, and my infantry up the middle, often getting hung-up on the rearguard units in either forest, I tried something new. This time I sent the Early Tercios around the forests on the flanks, moving the cavalry behind them and around them through the forests, just enough to remain out of sight of the Catholic forces. Artillery and Late Tercios took the road between the forests moving on the rearguard in the town. A unit of cavalry was assigned to either of the rearguard Catholic forces in either wood to handle them with fire combat. This forced the Catholic forces to deal with several points at once, power on the flanks, threat in the middle, as well. They couldn't stop all of it with any advantage of numbers at any one point. Once all infantry was engaged mounted battles ensued at various points. Won by routing 51% of the Catholic forces. Played at 'Captain" level challenge as I'm brand -new to this game.

Thanks !
Have tried just once sending tercios on the wing I think. Will try again...
