The match was played at the neutral venue of the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan, in front of 60,000 fans. The match ended 0–0 after extra time, where Porto eventually won 8–7 at penalties. Maniche of Porto was named as man of the match.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
