Villarreal reached one of the Intertoto cup finals for the second year running after beating FC Brno in their second leg tie. Defending a 1-1 draw from the first leg, the Spaniards were by far the superior side. However it was not until the second minute of injury time that fans could breath a sigh of relief when substitute Sonny Anderson scored his side's second goal. Benito Floro left new signings Anderson and José Marí out of the starting line up as both were carrying knocks, and Víctor and Guayre led the attack. But it was midfielder Jorge López who opened the scoring midway through the first half after Brazilian fullback Belletti set him up.

Guayre felt he should have had a penalty later in the half and keeper Belic made a good save from Víctor as the home side piled on the pressure. But the Czech side came back after the break, and Dosek almost levelled the tie when he hit the post on the hour mark. Brno were left with ten men though when Schuster was shown a second yellow card a few minutes later, and with Floro's men running down the clock, Anderson got clear to beat Belic and send his side through to a two leg final with Holland's Heerenveen.
