| Zidane connects perfectly |
A lofted pass from Solari down the left wing sends Roberto Carlos and Zoltan Sebescen scampering to the edge of the 18 yard box. Carlos gets there first, but the Bayer Leverkusen player does enough to force him to loop a hopeful punt into the penalty area. It balloons into the night sky, and drops. Zinedine Zidane, 18 yards out, watching and waiting, adjusts his body and, in one smooth movement, pirouettes and catches it full on the volley with his left foot. It flies past Hans-Jorg Butt.
