Famous World Cup / Friendly Legacy
Brazil and Scotland famously clashed in the opening match of the 1998 World Cup in France, where a hard-fought game ended 2-1 to the Seleção via a late Tom Boyd own goal. Scotland has never beaten Brazil in their 10 historical meetings, but has always managed to put up a stubborn and spirited resistance, making this a classic underdog matchup.
