I see after the good results of draws with Botafogo from Brazil and Borussia Dortmund, the WYNRS side lost 2-0 to both FC Basel and Grasshoppers Zurich (one of Wynton's old clubs) - the local Swiss sides seemed to benefit a lot from home advantage with FC Zurich winning the tournament final 5-0 against Botafogo.

Those results were no disgrace, as Basel went on to beat Manchester United, and Grasshoppers, FC Torino in the next round.

WYNRS won their classification match in the next round 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw against tournament hosts FC Blue Stars (a local Zurich club) to finish 9th out of the 10 teams.
