With a concentrated effort, FC Schalke controlled the game in the first half, but failed to take the lead with Wilmots (5th), Anderbrügge (27th) and Nemec (28th). Jens Lehmann thwarted the Milanese's only dangerous chance shortly before half-time.
In the second half, the game flattened a little, but with a 25-meter shot from Wilmots, Schalke managed to take the lead in the 70th minute. Milan was now clearly trying harder to score the important away goal, but failed again and again because of Schalke's goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.

Schalke had the Milanese under control in the first 30 minutes, only then did the hosts seem to wake up and Schalke found themselves increasingly in trouble, but initially held up. Only five minutes before the end of the game, however, the Milanese Ivan Zamorano succeeded in making the 1-0- To equalize the first leg win of Gelsenkirchen and save the Italians in extra time.
Despite the numerical superiority, as a result of Fresi's dismissal in the 90th minute, Schalke were lucky in the following period that Ganz only hit the crossbar (109th). In the all-important penalty shoot-out, Zamorano initially failed to Lehmann, later Aron Winter shot past the right goal post, while all Schalke players converted their penalties and celebrated the greatest success in the club's history.
