89‘ [0 - 1] Carlos Henrique
In the first half, as expected, the favorite of the match, the "Lyon" club, dominated the conditions, and the "Bordeaux" goalkeeper Ulrich Ramé saved his team from dangerous strikes from Sidney Govou and Juninho Pernambucano from Brazil. However, the latter suffered a Achilles tendon injury in the second half and ended his performance in the final.
The French champions continued to take the initiative, but the only defensive error cost them the French League Cup trophies. In the 89th minute, after a corner kick lifted by Johan Micoud, Brazilian defender Carlos Henrique outmaneuvered his compatriot Cris and jumped highest to score past "Lyon" goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre.
"Bordeaux" emerged victorious and repeated their success, having won the French League Cup in 2002 and securing a ticket to the UEFA Cup tournament next year.'
