Scottish Games at the 1990 World Cup

Preliminary round (group C)

Scotland – Costa Rica 0:1 – Goal: 0:1 Cayasso (50 min.)
Scotland – Sweden 2:1 – Goals 1:0 McCall (10 min), 2:0 Johnston (83 min, Foulelfmeter), 2:1 Strömberg (85 min)
Scotland – Brazil 0:1 – Goal: Müller (82 min.)

After the defeat in the first game of the Scots against Costa Rica, a draw in the last game against Brazil would have been enough for them to reach the final of the sixteen. Until the 82nd minute, Scotland stood for the first time in the second round, then the substitute miller nullified all chances.
