Corinthians came to this World Championship after two perfect (bi-Brazilian 98/99) and strenuous seasons. Players without vacations and tired, but playing with experience, race and great will.
According to Real Madrid’s deputy, Mr. Juan Onieva, the Corinthians Edílson player, in a big phase, was just an “unknown”. And the “unknown” shut up the Madrid fans.
Before the match Edílson promised to make a goal after passing the ball between the legs of defender Karembeu. Promise made is promise fulfilled.
The Real Madrid team took the lead 19 minutes into the first half with Anelka.
With the match at 1-0 for the Spanish Corinthians had a legitimate goal annulled by the match judge. But still in the first half Edílson tied the game after play that Luizão let him free, inside the area to push the ball to the goal.
And so ended the first stage, draw at 1×1.
18 minutes into the second half after a very fast Corinthians counterattack, Edílson kept his promise by noting Corinthians’s second goal after giving Karembeu a pen. Real Madrid would still tie the game with Anelka again on 25 minutes after dribbling goalkeeper Dida.
As for Corinthians things are always more painful, at 36 minutes Savio invades Corinthian area and is knocked down. Penalty in favor of Real Madrid. Anelka goes to the ball sure that he would score his third goal in the match, which would leave Real one step from the World Cup final. Except that the goalkeeper of Corinthians was Dida, an expert penalty taker.
The result could not be otherwise: Anelka struck midway in the right corner of the goal and Dida caught, ensuring the draw.
