Heartbreak for Hoops

Porto 3 Celtic 2 aet (90 minutes 2-2)

The Scottish champions lost the UEFA Cup final in the second half of extra time after being reduced to 10 men with the 102nd minute ordering-off of Bobo Balde for a second caution.

Derlei, the Porto's deadly Brazilian striker, matched the double completed earlier by the extraordinary Henrik Larsson the Swede having brought Celtic level twice after trailing to Derlei's first and another from Dmitri Alenichev with a low shot which the substitute, Ulrik Laursen, could not prevent from crossing the line.
