1. FC Kaiserslautern 2–0 Tottenham Hotspur on 4 November 1999

Stunningly Tottenham were undone by two injury-time goals in the space of 120 seconds in the Fritz Walter Stadium last night to put to ruin what until then had been a performance of much valour.

George Graham's team had seen out the 90 minutes, their crossbar struck and Ian Walker producing two impressive saves, when Kaiserslautern came at them again, devastatingly this time through Youri Djorkaeff who had been consistently the German catalyst on the night.

The tricky Frenchman twice ran at the Tottenham rearguard and brought about a collapse on each occasion. Firstly Andreas Buck, left in space as the white shirts moved to intercept the Djorkaeff threat, side-footed calmly home. Then, after the ball was given away cheaply, Djorkaeff found another wind from somewhere, again released Buck. This time the overlapper opted for the cross which, amid some panic, went into the net off the shins of Stephen Carr.

David Ginola, who won the penalty which divided the teams a week ago and divided them again in the immediate aftermath with Kaiserslautern protesting that he had taken a dive, was a surprise omission as Graham indulged his preference for switching players to suit a particular fixture. There was an unexpected place for Stephen Clemence while Steffen Iversen was given a wider, more withdrawn role down the left. Chris Armstrong had solo duties up front.

There were early scoring opportunities at both ends. Djorkaeff's recovery from injury offered the Germans an extra dimension in the final third of the pitch and the first of a series of free-kicks conceded by the visitors gave the French international the chance to whip in a dangerous swerver from the left close to the byline.

Walker seemed undecided whether to come for it or not and it presented Jeff Strasser with a gift he could not take only four yards from goal.

Kaiserslautern then twice gave the ball away in their own half and, although it enabled Armstrong eventually to send in a drive on target, it was comfortably gathered by Andreas Reinke.

A better opening then fell to Tim Sherwood when a long throw from Steffen Freund was helped on by Iversen. On the stretch the midfielder could not quite raise sufficient strength in his shot to beat the goalkeeper.

The Spurs defenders were showing up well in their individual battles and there was a solid look throughout Graham's team. Sherwood's drive and composure were crucial factors and Clemence's thoughtful distribution gave them scope for optimism on the break.

It was Walker, recalled to the England squad, who made the most telling contributions, however, as the first half ended, pawing away a formidable Ratinho shot and then changing direction to foil Ciriaco Sforza.

So far so good for Tottenham, and Iversen, rising to meet Clemence's free-kick, reminded Kaiserslautern that Spurs presented a threat on the counter. Walker, though, could have done without a hard, misguided header from Carr which forced him into hurried action.

That scare had been preceded by a Buck cross which missed out both defenders and attackers massed at the near post and flew to the waiting Marian Hristov, who headed into the side netting.
