In the 89th minute, Hitzfield made the final substitution, replacing Basler, who performed best in the game, with fullback Hasan Salihamidzic, strengthening the defense while spending the last few minutes of the game. .

The fourth official held up a sign to indicate three minutes of injury time. UEFA President Renate Johansson stood up from the rostrum and was about to take the elevator down to the stands to present an award to Bayern Munich. When he passed by Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton, he said "Sorry" to him. To express comfort, UEFA staff have begun to tie ribbons in Bayern colors to the famous "Big Ear" trophy. German TV commentators began to quote retired England forward Gary Lineker's famous saying: "Football is a very simple sport. 22 people chase a ball for 90 minutes, and then the Germans win."

But at this time Manchester United won a corner kick through a cross from the left by right back Gary Neville. Beckham took the kick. Goalkeeper Schmeichel also rushed into the opponent's penalty area, trying to reproduce his magical header many years ago. An even scene. At this time, Clive Tildesley, a famous British football commentator and a Manchester United fan himself, said on TV: "Can Manchester United score goals? They always score goals!" After the corner kick was taken, Schmeichel The huge body caused chaos in the middle of the penalty area, but no one was able to reach the top. Dwight York barely touched the ball back to the center from the far point, but it was cleared by Fink, who was defending Bayern. However, the ball did not go far. Giggs on the line of the penalty area met the ball and volleyed with his right foot. Without any force, the ball came to Sheringham outside the small penalty area. Sheringham turned 180 degrees and shot the ball into the lower right corner of Bayern's goal. Kahn had no choice but to equalize the score in the first minute of stoppage time after Manchester United fell behind for 84 minutes.

Sheringham jumped high in front of the center and hit the ball. The ball changed direction and fell in front of Solskjaer at the back point of the small penalty area.

Solskjaer used his "big toe" to volley the ball into the goal. Bayern defender Michael Tanat, who was standing at the back post to cover, saw the ball flying over his head and was helpless. Tildesley shouted excitedly: "Solskjaer won it (referring to the Champions League)!" "Manchester United has arrived at the Holy Land promised by God! (Promised Land, referring to the Triple Crown)"

And UEFA President Johansson just walked out of the entrance to the stands. Later, he recalled that his first thought at the time was: "It's incredible! The winners are crying, and the losers are dancing!" Bayern Many players, including forward Yankel, central defender Kufuor and Matth?us, who had been substituted before, could not accept such a cruel blow and collapsed on the spot, even crying and falling to the ground.
