The World Cup '98: do you have what it takes to rewind back to Scotland's bravest battle against Brazil? The 10th June showdown at Stade de France still echoes in Scottish hearts – a nail-biting encounter that would test the mettle of Craig Brown's plucky side. With an array of global superstars, including Ronaldo and Rivaldo, Brazil were hot favourites to take down Scotland, but our brave Scots refused to back down.
The opening salvo saw Brazil's César Sampaio rise above the fray with a header in the 5th minute, but Scotland responded like the underdogs they were. A Kevin Gallacher foul led to a spot-kick for John Collins, who slotted it home just before half-time – an audacious equaliser that sent shivers down the spines of Brazilian fans.
But Brazil wouldn't be denied for long. In the 74th minute, Cafu's shot took a cruel deflection off Tom Boyd, leaving Scotland with a heavy heart and a 2-1 deficit. Despite a spirited performance from Brown's men, it was ultimately Brazil who sealed their victory – a hard-fought win that would propel them to the final against hosts France.
For Scotland, this World Cup marked their eighth appearance at the global stage and fifth consecutive qualification for the tournament. A tough defeat to Morocco would eventually see them exit at the group stage, but not before a memorable draw against Norway. Brazil, on the other hand, rode the wave of momentum all the way to the final – where they would fall to France in a thrilling 3-0 victory.
