 This was also the first game to use the silver goal rule, although it did not affect the outcome of the game as Porto scored in the second half of extra-time, thus meaning the game had to be played until the end of extra-time.Prior to this game, no club from Scotland or Portugal had ever won the UEFA Cup.The game had what UEFA described at the time as "the largest travelling support to have assembled for a single game" — around 80,000 Celtic fans travelled to Seville for the final.
