 A third goal for Ipswich, this time from Mariner after Brazil had beaten his opposition player and put in a low pass to the near post, saw the English team win the game and take a 3–0 lead into the second leg at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.Such was Ipswich's dominance, that they restricted AZ to a single shot on target throughout the match, and only conceded the first corner midway through the second half.Thijssen was named man of the match.
