In 1997, it was revealed that the Anderlecht chairmanConstant Vanden Stock had paid a £27,000 bribe to the referee Emilio Guruceta Muro in exchange for help fixing their semi-final second leg match versus Nottingham Forest.[1] During the match, Anderlecht were awarded a dubiouspenalty, and a last minute Nottingham Forest goal – that would have won them the tie on theaway goals rule – was disallowed.[2] In 2016, it emerged that UEFA had known about the bribe since 1993 but had taken no action until the information was made public in 1997,[3] when UEFA suspended Anderlecht from the next European tournament for which they qualified.[1] On qualifying for the1998–99 UEFA Cup, Anderlecht appealed the suspension in theCourt of Arbitration for Sport, which overturned the ban on the grounds that it was made by UEFA's executive committee, which did not have the authority to issue the ban.[4]

The match featured an infamous incident that saw a Hajduk fan run onto the pitch before the start of the second half with a liverooster – in reference to Tottenham's club symbol, the cockerel – and, while standing at the centre circle, kill the animal by snapping its neck.[5][6] The contest took place as scheduled, however, as a result of the incident, Hajduk were finedCHF3,000 and ordered to play their next European tie at least 300 km away from their home stadium. That tie turned out to be their1984–85 European Cup Winners' Cupfirst round match againstDynamo Moscow.
