There was no favorite in group 2. The negative surprise, however, was the Scots. Against Yugoslavia it was enough to make it 1-1, but against Paraguay it was a sensational 2-3. Since it was also a 2-1 defeat against the French, they were eliminated, landing in fourth place. France became group winners with their World Cup goal scorer Just Fontaine, who set the record of 13 goals in a tournament that is still in existence today. He was already successful three times against Paraguay at 7-3. Fontaine also scored the two goals of the French in the 3-2 defeat against the later group runners-up, Yugoslavia. The 3: 3 against Paraguay was enough for the Yugoslavs to advance, one point ahead of the South Americans.
