Match overview
Brazil overturned an early Danish lead in a thrilling Nantes quarter-final. Bebeto and Rivaldo turned the game before Brian Laudrup’s smart finish levelled again. Rivaldo’s second-a low strike from distance-proved the winner in a contest full of attacking flair.
Trivia
Brazil’s third goal marked Rivaldo’s first brace in a World Cup match. Denmark scored within 90 seconds-the fastest goal Brazil had ever conceded at a World Cup.
