TOKYO, November 27 (DS) - Bayern Munich worked very hard to break the opposition of the ten Argentineans from Boca Juniors in the match for the title of the strongest club of the world, until in the 110th minute the European champion's defender Sammy Kuffour scored the victorious goal. Just after the match the happy holders of the Intercontinental Cup and the less happy Maradona shared their impressions with the correspondent of Sport 1.
Sammy Kuffour: "I'm happy for our today's victory. I devote the scored goal to my son and my wife, and give my car to my mother."
Oliver Kahn: "Now we are the strongest in the world."
Ottmar Hitzfeld: "We were strong in standard situations and could score sooner. I'm very glad that the thing didn't come to penalties. Victory in the Intercontinental Cup match is of benefit and of great prestige for the team."
Uli Hoeness: " The Argentineans tried to be rough in every duel and provoked us to similar treatment. But it's good that the arbiter didn't take the bait. One will always be careful with Argentinean teams, they fight beyond forbidden."
Diego Maradona: "For the arbiter the fortune of the match was clear long before the final whistle."
