Just before half-time, Frank Lampard misjudged a back pass, allowing Peter Ressel to collect the ball and pass it to Rob Rensenbrink to score the equaliser. In attempting the backpass, Lampard tore a stomach muscle that required him to be substituted. Three minutes into the second-half, François Van der Elst scored, assisted by Rensenbrink. Keith Robson later equalised for West Ham from a cross by Trevor Brooking. Anderlecht were awarded a dubious penalty in the 73rd minute after Holland challenged Rensenbrink but appeared to win the ball cleanly; Rensenbrink scored from the penalty spot. With two minutes left, as West Ham came close to an equaliser, van der Elst ran through on the break to score Anderlecht's fourth goal.
