On this day, 31 August, 1997, Massimo Moratti's Inter side opened the season at home and were ready to show off their star signing; Ronaldo O Fenomeno.
Things weren't going to plan for the Nerazzurri, and got worse when Dario Hubner scored for Brescia with less than 20 minutes to go - assisted by a certain Andrea Pirlo.
Ronaldo hadn't been able to get on the scoresheet. However, another of Inter's South American additions was about to make the difference. Alvaro Recoba had been brought on just before Brescia went ahead.
In the 80th minute, Recoba picks the ball up from Benoit Cauet about 30-35 yards out on the left hand side and instead of thinking about a cross or a pass, he puts everything he's got through it.
The shot remains flat and hard. Giovanni Cervone does get a fingertip to it but it was going to need a might wrist to stop this bullet. Inter are level again, but there are only 10 minutes to go.
Five minutes later Recoba is lining up a free kick directly in front of goal, but, once again it is 30-35 yards out. The Uruguayan produces an incredible curling effort top bins.
Inter would go on to finish 2nd in Serie A this season, Ronaldo bagged 25 goals - Bierhoff won the capocannoniere with 27. Sadly, Recoba managed just one more goal the whole season.
How many of the missing players in Inter's starting XI can you name?
