Classic match

Metz 1-3 West Ham United
UEFA Intertoto Cup Final Second Leg
24 August 1999

West Ham United booked their place in the UEFA Cup with a 3-1 win at FC Metz in the final of the Intertoto Cup on this day 16 years ago.

The Hammers trailed 1-0 from a first leg defeat at the Boleyn Ground, but overcame that setback in style in France.

Trevor Sinclair put West Ham 1-0 up in the first half, and Frank Lampard gave them the advantage in the tie for the first time on 43 minutes.

Metz gave themselves hope with a Nenad Jestrovic goal with 68 minutes played, but the Hammers won the tie with a Paulo Wanchope goal ten minutes later.

West Ham would go on to see off Osijek in the first round of the UEFA Cup, but bowed out in round two to Steaua Bucharest.
