About this match

In the opening match of the 1998 World Cup in Paris, Brazil beat Scotland 2-1 — Tom Boyd scored an own goal, but John Collins pulled one back with a strike from outside the box that sent the Tartan Army into delirium, believing for a few minutes. In 1982, in Spain, David Narey scored a stunning goal against Brazil in the first half, driving the Scots wild, before Brazil turned it around to win 4-1 with a show from Zico, Falcao, and company. If Scotland wants to finally advance past the group stage for the first time, beating Brazil would be the perfect script — but history shows the Selecao always has the last word.
