Scottish Games at the 1990 World Cup
Preliminary round (Group C)
- Scotland 0-1 Costa Rica - Goal: 0-1 Cayasso (50th min.)
- Scotland 2-1 Sweden - Goals: 1-0 McCall (10th min.), 2-0 Johnston (83rd minute, penalty kick), 2-1 Strömberg (85th minute)
- Scotland 0-1 Brazil - Goal: Müller (82nd min.)
After the Scots lost their first game to Costa Rica , a draw in their last game against Brazil would have been enough for them to reach the round of 16. Until the 82nd minute, Scotland was in the second round for the first time, then the substitute Müller destroyed all chances.
