The ninetieth minute of the match.
The score was still one to zero.
UEFA President Johansson and Bayern President Beckenbauer left the presidential stand and took the elevator to the pitch, ready for the award ceremony.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Beckham took the corner kick.
The football flew over Manchester United goalkeeper Schmeichel's head.
He did not contest the header, but he did disturb the Bayern defenders competing for the ball, resulting in all five of the Bayern defenders behind him failing to exert any force.
The ball hit one of the Bayern players and deflected towards Cole, who, with his body twisted, headed the ball weakly back.
Fink, who had come on for Matthaus, cleared desperately with a big kick.
At the edge of the penalty area, Giggs took a shot with his weaker right foot, which also lacked power.
Up to this point, the football had not once been struck with a clean force.
