2001 Intercontinental Cup

The 2001 Intercontinental Cup was an association football match played on 27 November 2001 between Bayern Munich, winners of the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League, and winners of the 2001 Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors, which was also the defending champions. The match was played at the neutral venue of the National Stadium in Tokyo in front of 51,360 fans. The game itself was very controversial due to the behaviour of the referee against the Argentinian team by making quite weird calls against them[2] Samuel Kuffour was named as man of the match.[3] This was the last Intercontinental Cup played in Tokyo, since International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama was used from 2002 edition.
