In 1997, it was revealed that the Anderlecht chairman Constant 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 dubious penalty, and a last minute Nottingham Forest goal—that would have won them the tie on the away 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 the 1998–99 UEFA Cup, Anderlecht appealed the suspension in the Court 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 (later identified as Ante Baraba, a resident of Paljuv settlement within the Novigrad village) run onto the pitch prior to kickoff with a live rooster – in reference to Tottenham's club symbol, the cockerel – and, while standing at the centre circle, proceeding to kill the animal by snapping its neck.[5][6] The contest took place as scheduled, however, as a result of the incident, Hajduk was fined CHF3,000 and ordered to play at least 300 km away from their home stadium for their next European tie that turned out to be the 1984–85 European Cup Winners' Cup first round game against Dynamo Moscow.
