Against the odds, Lazio won the match 1–0, the winning goal coming from Chilean strikerMarcelo Salas in the 35th minute. The match was played at a neutral venue, the Stade Louis II in Monaco, in front of 14,461 spectators.
The Stade Louis II in Monaco has been the venue for the UEFA Super Cup since 1998.[1] It was built in 1985, and is also the home of AS Monaco, who play in the French league system.[citation needed]
Lazio scored the only goal of the game in the 35th minute when Marcelo Salas hit a shot from just inside the penalty box which goalkeeper Raimond van der Gouw got his hand to but failed to keep out as the ball went under his body.[2]
