Match overview
Brazil and Scotland played to a goalless draw in their Group 2 encounter at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt.

Brazil made one substitution when Carpegiani replaced Leivinha in the 66th minute, while Scotland maintained their starting eleven throughout the match.
Trivia
This match was part of Group 2, which featured defending champions Brazil, Scotland, Yugoslavia, and Zaire. The draw meant both teams remained in contention for qualification to the second round, with Scotland proving they could compete with the world’s best. Scotland would go on to become the only unbeaten team in the entire 1974 tournament, yet still failed to qualify for the knockout stages.
