UEFA Cup 1998-99

(From 21-07-1998 to 12-05-1999)

 

 

COMPETITION SYSTEM

·          104 teams (best qualified clubs in domestic leagues, title holder, and extra participants) playing knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decides the winner.

·          Ties are resolved with: 1) the “away goals double value” rule; 2) a 30 minutes extra-time after regulation; 3) a penalty shoot-out (pk).

·          A final game is played at a predetermined venue.

 

[Note: As a novelty in European competitions, the “Golden Goal” in finals is introduced: the first team to score a goal in extra-time will be the winner, with no need to play the remaining time.]

PARTICIPANTS AND BERTH ASSIGNMENT

79 entrants as a result of UEFA Country Ranking (UCR) for the period 1993-97 (not 1994-98, like in C1 and C2 for the same season) and 25 more entrants depending on different factors. The berth assignment is as follows:

 

Direct berths (79): 3 countries (places 1-3 in UCR) with 4 teams; 5 countries (places 4-8 in UCR) with 3 teams; 13 countries (places 9-21 in UCR) with 2 teams; 27 countries (places 22-48 in UCR) with 1 team.

 

Extra berths (25): 3 teams qualified via Intertoto Cup 1998 (IC). 3 teams qualified via Fair Play (ranking of countries whose teams receive the fewest number of yellow and red cards). 16 teams qualified via Champions League 1998-99 (losers of Second Qualifying Round). 3 additional berths are assigned to Andorra (League champion) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (League champion and runner-up) as new participants in European competitions.

 

 

FIRST QUALIFYING ROUND

40 TEAMS. 26 clubs of countries ranked 22-48 in UCR 1993-97 (except Liechtenstein); 10 clubs of countries with two berths assigned in UCR 1993-97, although ranking below 16th place in UCR 1994-98 (Poland, Belgium, Romania, Sweden, Scotland); 1 club from Andorra and 2 clubs from Bosnia-Herzegovina (new participants in European competitions); 1 club qualified via Fair Play (in pink).

* The second leg, played in Salerno, was interrupted at halftime (with a score of 2-1 for AC Fiorentina) because the fourth referee was hit by a firecracker thrown from the stands. Later, UEFA expelled the Italian club from the competition alleging that the security in the stadium was their full resposibility, and awarded a 0-3 w.o. to Grasshopper-Club.

[Incidents: Moscow Mayor, Yurij Luzhkov, wanted the final to be perfect, so he ordered the Weather Service to “clear up” some menacing clouds in the sky of the Russian capital. In order to achieve this, a group of airplanes and helicopters took off at 4 p.m. to spread some reactive chemicals over the clouds and “stop” them from raining during the game.

RESUMEN DEL PARTIDO (GAME SUMMARY)

Con más facilidad de la esperada conquistó el Parma su segunda Copa de la UEFA ante el Olympique de Marsella. Los dos goles de los parmesanos en el primer tiempo, casi sin solución de continuidad, dejaron prácticamente K.O. a un equipo francés que comenzó el partido intentando controlar el centro del campo, aunque el juego resultó bastante equilibrado. A los veintiséis minutos, una cesión fallida de Laurent Blanc a su portero es aprovechada por “Valdanito” Crespo para elevar el balón por encima de Porato e inaugurar el marcador. Apenas nueve minutos más tarde es Vanoli el que remata de cabeza un centro desde la derecha y logra el 2-0 para el Parma. Con este resultado, la segunda mitad se presentaba a vida o muerte para el Olympique. Pese a disfrutar el equipo francés de una mayor posesión de balón, el Parma acababa siempre por imponerse debido a su mejor posición en el campo. Verón fue el mejor de su equipo y los franceses notaron en demasía las bajas por sanción de Dugarry, Ravanelli y Luccin. El tercer gol de Chiesa, de hermosa ejecución, selló definitivamente la suerte del partido. La Copa de la UEFA volvía a viajar a Italia.
