00:00Commentators in the Stade de France, Ian St John and Clive Chilsley.
00:30Well, we know the dangers of Dunga shooting, you know, he's got a great reputation for being able to hit
00:34the ball from distances and this was another example, really unleashed one there and Colin just got a little flick
00:39on it.
00:41Jim Layton has the massive number four Junior Piano to worry about here as well as the usual threats and
00:47it's curling into the near post and the header from Cesar Sampaio has given Brazil the lead inside of four
00:52minutes.
00:54What a start for the defending champions.
00:58But a straight forward goal conceded from a corner kick which will disappoint a lot of Scottish hopes. Cesar Sampaio
01:06the scorer.
01:08Well, I mean, that's a terrible goal to lose really Clive, especially this early. I mean, there's no marking it
01:13here.
01:14Of course he gets in front of the two Scottish defenders here, two of them and he gets it and
01:18knocks it in the top corner.
01:19Of all the ways that you can lose goals to Brazil that is not the way that you would expect.
01:23That is not the one we would have expected.
01:24But there you go, he beats them to it and knocks it in.
01:30Dunga, Cesar Sampaio.
01:33So Dunga's got all the room in the world and he can pick and choose where everybody wants to play
01:37it.
01:37Somebody's really got to get on to him.
01:40He's picked out to Ronaldo this time on the header to Colin Hendry who is just wide of his own
01:45goal.
01:47And it's a rather nervous Scotland defence at present.
01:50Well, everybody's going for that one and Colin gets a touch on it.
01:53Doesn't know the goalkeeper is there in the fight. I don't think the goalkeeper was calling for it.
01:59Rivaldo.
02:04Look who's forward again on the left-hand side. It's Roberto Carlos. Good side by the line.
02:10Palmed away as far as Roberto.
02:13Well, you could hardly call him a full-back. He never spends any time on his own half.
02:17Well, he does it. He gets up there all the time and he's just like an attacking winger.
02:21I mean, he's fantastic, Roberto Carlos. But look at the room he's getting here.
02:24Our three centre-backs have been dragged all over the place.
02:31Lovely hit. Jim Leighton got both hands behind it. They almost knocked them backwards.
02:36Daly.
02:38Dury.
02:41Daly challenged by Cafu.
02:43Dumpa.
02:45Rivaldo.
02:50Cafu is forward yet again.
02:52Ronaldo making a run ahead of him. Colin Hendry is the defender.
02:58Terrific play by Ronaldo. He's passed away too.
03:01Still Ronaldo!
03:03And turnout at half's way by Colin Corderwood.
03:06But a little cameo of the immense individual ability that is Ronaldo.
03:11Well, this is what the world of football wants to see.
03:14Ronaldo, for me, the greatest player in the world at the moment.
03:17And when he gets the ball and runs, I said he could take so many people on at one time.
03:21It's just brilliant stuff.
03:22Good stop by Jim Leighton.
03:25This is Jepson.
03:26A turn away from Aldair.
03:28Trying to play in Gallagher behind Aldair.
03:30It's Kevin Gallagher from Scotland.
03:32Dury was there.
03:33And Junior Baiano, as much by luck as judgement,
03:37hook the ball out of Gordon Dury's path.
03:39That was a wonderful execution there by Junior Baiano.
03:42I mean, there's no way he could have got to the ball other than doing that.
03:45Just stuck up his right heel and hooked it away.
03:51Jackson.
03:53Don't have just got a toe to the ball.
03:55It's run for Gallagher though.
03:56And now Burley.
03:58Full forward again for Scotland.
04:01Jury jumping.
04:02Gallagher trying to get there.
04:03It seems to be impeded.
04:04Francesca Sampaio.
04:04He's given a penalty.
04:08And a yellow card for the man who put Brazil in front.
04:11Inside the opening four minutes.
04:12Purdue has now conceded a penalty.
04:15Well, we know it's headed back there.
04:17Gallagher was making a run to try and get on him.
04:19And he was definitely pushed from the back.
04:21It was a definite penalty kick.
04:29Opportunity knocks for John Collins.
04:31It's good!
04:33Scotland are on terms with the World Champions.
04:38Yes, I do think we have deserved it, Clive.
04:41It was a lovely penalty for John.
04:42It was very cool.
04:43Tucked in the corner.
04:45But a general play at the moment as warranted as getting back on terms.
04:48That was lovely.
04:55Ronaldo.
04:57This is Rivaldo.
04:59It's made space for a shot.
05:01It wasn't very far away from Rivaldo.
05:08Well, beautiful skill.
05:10Ronaldo.
05:10You know, shifted the ball on his right foot, then takes it back on his left.
05:14He favours his left foot.
05:15Good strike from there.
05:17I mean, how wide was that?
05:19Inches.
05:25This is Cafu.
05:28A bit better.
05:30Cesar Sampaio.
05:32Now Rivaldo.
05:34Now Rivaldo.
05:39He's been warned before about, you know, this fella today and when he's shooting.
05:42They've got to close him down a little bit earlier.
05:44I mean, even 40 yards out, they've got to close him down.
05:48And that's the job of Paul Lambert, really.
05:55Junior Baiano, Seymov, Gallica in no uncertain terms.
05:59Here's Rivaldo, into the path of Ronaldo.
06:01Made shooting space for himself.
06:03Well done, Colin Hendry.
06:04He got in the challenge there.
06:06Ronaldo had his finger on the trigger.
06:08It's Gordon Dury now, trying to release Kevin Gallica.
06:11Dury's up on his feet, trying to provide some support.
06:15Gallica has support, it's come from Paul Lambert.
06:19And on to Gallica.
06:21Oh, and Kepferman has just slung it away.
06:24It is a corner kick, but it could have been so much better for Scotland.
06:29He couldn't pick out Dury, who was waiting for the cup back.
06:32You know, he hit it square, and then Dury was just outside the six-yard box.
06:35John Collins was a beautiful place throughout that move too.
06:38Yes, he was, but I think just if he'd have played it back there.
06:41You know, just out of a shot there, Gordon Dury just waiting to put it in.
06:45A small for choice.
06:56Daly.
06:59Lambert.
07:02Now Burley.
07:04And it was deflected, and Tafferoldi will hold on.
07:07It just clicked Rivaldo on its way through to the Brazilian keeper from Craig Burley.
07:15Very patient build-up by Scotland.
07:16Did get himself a shot in at the end of it.
07:19And a good in two by Ebron.
07:22Growing in confidence with each passing minute.
07:25Giving Tafferoldi more to think about with each passing minute.
07:37Oh, terrific stuff from Denilson.
07:40Rivaldo.
07:41Tackle from Lambert, but the ball's run from Leonardo.
07:45Here's Denilson again.
07:54Roberto Carlos.
07:55Roberto Carlos.
07:59Denilson.
08:01A great wave of public feeling, almost demanding that he be in the starting line-up.
08:06Today.
08:07Douglas trying to play.
08:08Cafu in.
08:09Good save by Leite.
08:10No!
08:10No!
08:10It came off Tom Boyd.
08:12And Brazil take the lead.
08:15With a calamitous own goal by Tom Boyd.
08:2418 minutes left to play.
08:25The last touch was by Boyd.
08:29Cafu made it happen.
08:31But Brazil are lucky to be in front.
08:35Well, unfortunately, it's Eris here.
08:37Jim Layton got the ball.
08:39It hit Tommy Boyd in the shoulder and went in the net.
08:40What can you do about that?
08:42I mean, that is just bad luck.
08:44That was Judy back there, misses it.
08:46Cafu just flicks it there.
08:48Hits Leite in the chest.
08:50Bouncing against Tommy Boyd in the net.
09:02Don't go.
09:07Rivaldo slipped it in to Leonardo this time.
09:10Looking for Ronaldo, finding only Hendri.
09:13Well, as far as Cesar Sampaio.
09:15Cafu is racing forward.
09:19From here in Brazil.
09:20Eight minutes away from victory.
09:22Leading just 2-1.
09:23And still both full backs are charging up the field.
09:26Short of cover as Jury comes forward.
09:28It's gone, Jury!
09:29And that was a smart stop by Claudio Tapparel.
09:33Jury caught hold of that.
09:36He certainly did, Clive.
09:37That was a good shot and a good save by the goalkeeper.
09:43He was...
09:48He was...
09:48He was...
09:49He was...
09:50McKinley.
09:51Body check, free kick.
09:53It's the time to take it.
09:55Leonardo penalised.
10:02does scotland know there's only seconds to go
10:06come on let's get it in
10:08tosh mckinley will take everybody but paul lambert and jim layton have gone forward
10:14mckinley swings it in
10:18turn away as far as lambert and that is the last action brazil have recorded the win
10:26that they and the rest of the world expected scotland faced the challenge to qualify that
10:34they expected but there were a lot of surprises in this game the final scoreline doesn't begin
10:41to tell the full story of the contest between mario zagalo and craig brown but for that
10:48catastrophic moment that befell tomboy with 17 minutes left to play scotland may just have
10:54taken a point from the game as it is brazil's array of wonderful individual talent held
11:00sway at the end but only just brazil two scotland one
