In Russia's group B, the three-time world champion Brazil lived up to its role of favorite; especially the storm duo Romario and Bebeto convinced. Carlos Alberto Parreira's team won against Russia and Cameroon, while the defensive Swedes drew against the Brazilians in the last group game. Sweden, which started the tournament rather moderately, moved into the second team in the round of 16. Russia could only convince in the last group game. Oleg Salenko was the first and only player in World Cup history to score five times in one game. For the Russians, the first World Cup after the collapse of the Soviet Union ended after the preliminary round. Cameroon was unable to match the performance of the 1990 World Cup. Old star Roger Milla made a record in the game between Cameroon and Russia, which was ultimately insignificant for the rest of the tournament. At the age of 42 he was the oldest player in World Cup history to score a goal.
