Girondins Bordeaux 0 Sparta Prague 0

First Published: Oct 27, 1999

These two sides needed only a draw to ensure their progression from Group G and produced a sterile encounter after Spartak Moscow's failure to beat Willem II in the afternoon.

Bordeaux played a bright possession game in the first half as Sparta sat right back in their defence but the French champions produced few chances but striker Silvain Wiltord did produce two diving saves from goalkeeper Posulka with shots on the run.

Sparta created the best chance of the second half when Sionko hit a low drive that Ram saved.
