Twenty minutes after the restart, the Montenegrin latched onto a rebound in the box, shimmied past Peruzzi before calmly using his left foot to send the ball past Montero, who could only look on helplessly as the ball sailed into the back of the net.

That goal, Mijatovic's only of the competition, was the icing on the cake of what was a perfect performance from Jupp Heynckes' men, in a match in which the defensive partnership of Hierro and Sanchís particularly stood out, as did the work rate of Fernando Redondo, who was as reliable as ever for Real Madrid.
