2000 was the first year of the world club cup and the then more established intercontinental cup was still running.
"The
1999 Intercontinental Cup was an
association football match played on 30 November 1999 between
Manchester United, winners of the
1998–99 UEFA Champions League, and
Palmeiras, winners of the
1999 Copa Libertadores. The match was played at the neutral venue of the
National Stadium in
Tokyo in front of 53,372 spectators.
Manchester United won the match 1–0, the winning goal scored by their captain,
Roy Keane. This was United's only
Intercontinental Cup triumph, having been beaten by
Estudiantes in the
1968 competition. This game was Palmeiras' only appearance in the Intercontinental Cup.
Ryan Giggs was given the
man of the match award.
