Description: The build-up was dominated by the fitness of Brazil's star striker, Ronaldo, amid reports that he had suffered a pre-match fit. Zinedine Zidane gave France the lead just before the half-hour mark with a header from an inswinging corner. Only minutes later, Ronaldo was put through on goal by a long ball from Dunga but he could not get the better of the onrushing Fabien Barthez, who collided with the Brazilian striker. Both needed assistance from the squad medics but quickly recovered. Brazil's superstar playmakers Leonardo of AC Milan and Rivaldo of Barcelona were kept quiet by Deschamps and Karembeu. Zidane doubled France's advantage on the stroke of half-time with an almost identical goal. In the second half, Ronaldo had a chance to half the deficit. The ball fell kindly for him inside the Penalty Box, but he could only plant his shot into Barthez's arms. Midfielder Emmanuel Petit wrapped up the scoring in the 90th minute to put the victory beyond all doubt. France had to survive the last 20 minutes with only 10 men with the dismissal of Marcel Desailly; however, this did not affect them much. 1998-07-12 21:00 Brazil 0 – 3 France Stade de France, Saint-Denis Attendance: 75,000 Referee: Said Belqola (Morocco) Zidane Goal 27', 45+1' Petit Goal 90' Kit left arm green shoulders.pngKit body greenshoulders.pngTeam coloursKit right arm green shoulders.pngTeam coloursTeam coloursTeam colours Brazil Kit left arm shoulder stripes white stripes.pngKit body france 1998 home.pngTeam coloursKit right arm shoulder stripes white stripes.pngTeam coloursKit shorts adidasonwhite.pngTeam coloursKit socks 3 stripes white.pngTeam colours France Flag of Brazil BRAZIL: GK 1 Claudio Taffarel RB 2 Cafu CB 3 Aldair CB 4 Junior Baiano Booked in the 33rd minute 33' LB 6 Roberto Carlos DM 5 Csar Sampaio Substituted off in the 75th minute 75' DM 8 Dunga (c) AM 18 Leonardo Substituted off in the 45th minute 45' AM 10 Rivaldo CF 20 Bebeto CF 9 Ronaldo Substitutes: MF 19 Denlson Substituted on in the 45th minute 45' FW 21 Edmundo Substituted on in the 75th minute 75' Manager: Flag of Brazil Mrio Zagallo BRA-FRA 1998-07-12.svg Flag of France FRANCE: GK 16 Fabien Barthez RB 15 Lilian Thuram CB 8 Marcel Desailly Booked in the 48th minuteBooked again in the 68th minuteSent off in the 68th minute 48', 68' CB 18 Frank Leboeuf LB 3 Bixente Lizarazu DM 7 Didier Deschamps (c) Booked in the 39th minute 39' CM 17 Emmanuel Petit CM 19 Christian Karembeu Booked in the 56th minute 56' Substituted off in the 57th minute 57' CM 10 Zinedine Zidane AM 6 Youri Djorkaeff Substituted off in the 75th minute 75' CF 9 Stephane Guivarc'h Substituted off in the 66th minute 66' Substitutes: MF 4 Patrick Vieira Substituted on in the 75th minute 75' MF 14 Alain Boghossian Substituted on in the 57th minute 57' FW 21 Christophe Dugarry Substituted on in the 66th minute 66' Manager: Flag of France Aime Jacquet OFFICIALS Linesman: Mark Warren (England) Linesman: Achmat Salie (South Africa) Fourth official: Rahman Al Zaid (South Africa) MATCH RULES 90 minutes 30 minutes of extra-time if necessary Penalty shoot-out if scores still level: 3 substitutions permitted Great Quality DVD with English Commentary Shipping: All dvd's are shipped in a bubble mailer PLUS, a Clam shell case that are made of strong and durable clear polypropylene plastic.
