The
2000 UEFA Super Cup was a football match played on 25 August 2000 between Real Madrid of
Spain and Galatasaray of
Turkey. Real Madrid qualified by beating
Valencia in the
2000 UEFA Champions League Final, while Galatasaray had made it to the
Super Cup after beating
Arsenal in the
2000 UEFA Cup Final. Galatasaray won the match
2–1, both goals scored by
Mário Jardel, the latter a golden goal.
This was the first Super Cup contested by the winners of the
UEFA Cup (now the
UEFA Europa League). Until
1999, it was contested by the winners of the
UEFA Champions League and the winners of the
UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but the
Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued after the
1998–99 season.
Two goals from new signing Mário Jardel, including a 103rd minute golden goal winner, provided Galatasaray with their second
UEFA trophy in three months as the
Turkish side captured the
UEFA Super Cup by defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Stade Louis II stadium in Monaco.
Until Jardel's winning strike, the match had been a tale of two penalties as Jardel and Raúl both fired spot-kicks home for either side. The
Turks took the lead in the 41st minute when Jardel beat
Real goalkeeper
Iker Casillas after
Iván Campo was adjudged to have bundled over
Hakan Ünsal inside the penalty area. But Real replied
11 minutes from full-time when Raúl drilled the ball past
Cláudio Taffarel after
Suat Kaya was ruled to have handled
Sávio's attempted cross. However, Jardel, signed from FC
Porto to replace the departed
Hakan Şükür, enhanced his reputation even further when he turned home substitute
Fatih Akyel's low cross from the right past Casillas from eight metres in extra-time much to the delight of the assembled Turkish contingent.
Real Madrid, last season's UEFA Champions League winners, had the majority of both possession and scoring chances, but were unable to fashion a goal despite several attempts on goal by recent signing
Luís Figo. The
Spaniards, for whom
Iván Helguera joined Iván Campo at the centre of their defence, offered more attacking threat from the kick-off, with Figo shooting narrowly over
Taffarel's crossbar from 16 metres after
Austrian official
Günter Benkö decided to play advantage, despite the raised flag of his assistant in the 12th minute.
Moments later, Figo again shot over from a free-kick after
Guti had been upended 20 metres from goal. Galatasaray responded with a quick counter when
Gheorghe Hagi nodded Taffarel's hurried clearance towards Jardel, but
Campo hurried across to avert any danger.
Raúl then squandered Real's best chance of the half in the
16th minute with virtually his first touch of the match.
Roberto Carlos swung in a low cross from midway inside the Galatasaray half that threaded its way to Raúl at the far post, but the
Spanish international blazed over from close range. By now, Real were beginning to assume control, with Figo again lofting the ball over from a free-kick, Sávio testing Taffarel with a shot from an acute angle on the left, and Geremi heading a ball into the arms of Taffarel from Figo's corner, all in the space of three minutes.
