Group matches at France 98 played on Wednesday, 10th June.

Travel to Brazil Brazil vs Travel to Scotland Scotland in St. Denis (2:1).

Travel to Morocco Morocco vs Travel to Norway Norway in Montpellier (2:2).

Brazil vs Scotland in St. Denis: (17:30)

The Scots conceded the first goal of the tournament, from a corner, after only four minutes.

Sampaio headed in at the near post, but the flood of goals didn't materialise, and the Scots deserved their equaliser; a 37th minute penalty, coolly taken by John Collins.

Half-time: (1:1).

In a dour second half, Scotland didn't deserve to loose their grip on a point from this opening match. Sadly, a goal-mouth confusion saw the ball bounce off Jim Leighton's face and return to the open goal-mouth from Tommy Boyd's shoulder; an own goal under pressure from Cafu.

Final Score:
Travel to Brazil Brazil 2 - Travel to Scotland Scotland 1

Our Man of the Match:
Gordan Durie.

Morocco vs Norway in Montpellier: (21:00)

Norway, playing in white, kicked off and started well under the inspiration of Tore Andre Flo.

It took about ten minutes for Morocco to get into the game, and they started to dominate much of the play. Not surprisingly, Hadji took his opportunity on the left and came into the middle of the box to turn a defender and strike Morocco's first goal, in the 39th minute.

With half-time just seconds away, the Moroccan goal keeper flustered a cross at Henning Berg's head and the ball was helped in by the Moroccan, Chippo (another own goal).

Half-time: (1:1).

Morocco continued to dominate early in the second half and Hadda connected calmly to a long ball from Tahar.

Two minutes later, the Moroccan keeper flunked again, slapping pathetically at the ball to gift Eggen with an equalising close-range header, in the 62nd minute.

The Moroccans had a lucky escape in the 73rd minute, when Saber cleared off the line to save Benzekri's blushes.

Tor Andre Flo was looking more and more frustrated, as the Moroccans continued to close him down and then release through Hadji's red boots.

The Thai referee smiled as he handed out his first yellow card, in 79th minute; to Morocco's Chiba.

An excellent game!

Final Score:

Moustafa Hadji.
