unable to find the target after sidestepping a half-hearted challenge to shoot wide from 12 metres out, shortly before they were thrown a lifeline when Austrian
official Benkö pointed to the spot. Raúl left nothing to chance as he drilled the ball past Taffarel for the equaliser.
close for Galatasaray, while at the other end, Taffarel had to dive smartly to his left three minutes from time to turn Albert Celades
' six-metre shot around the post following some good work by Pedro Munitis.
