The UEFA Euro 2000 Final was a football match played on 2 July 2000 at De Kuip in Rotterdam, Netherlands, to determine the winner of UEFA Euro 2000. France won the match, defeating Italy 2–1.

Marco Delvecchio gave Italy the lead in the 55th minute when he turned in a cross from the right by Gianluca Pessotto, and they held the lead until the final minute of injury time, when Sylvain Wiltord crashed a low drive past Italian keeper Francesco Toldo from the left to take the game into extra time.[5] France won the game just before half-time in extra-time when Robert Pires cut the ball back from the left for David Trezeguet to fire the golden goal into the roof of the net with his left foot and win the tournament for France.[6][7]
