"Ah!!"
After scoring, Van der Vaart rushed toward the corner flag for a frantic celebration.
He had every reason to be so agitated.
That's because he had been bullied terribly by Veloso in this game.
He could swear that there were more than two or three bruises on his body.
Three-nil!
Ajax had killed the game!
Remember, it's only the first half.
A three-nil scoreline at halftime, it's too hard not to win.
After all, it's only 1999, the Istanbul miracle is yet to come.
Many Lisbon Sporting fans were already feeling dead inside.
Even Ferguson lost interest and turned off the TV, calling everyone to go for an early dinner.
Quite a few Manchester United fans were secretly laughing.
The boss previously said he had no bias regarding this game, just purely wanted to watch the youngsters play and see if there were any outstanding talents.
Now the outstanding young talent has emerged.
Is Van der Vaart outstanding or not?
What does it mean for you to turn off the TV then?
