Match overview
Brazil took the lead through Ronaldo early in the second half, but the Dutch equalised through Kluivert. After extra-time yielded no further goals, Taffarel saved penalties from Cocu and Ronald de Boer to send Brazil into the final.
Trivia
This was the first World Cup semi-final decided by a penalty shoot-out. Taffarel became the first keeper to save two spot-kicks in a World Cup semi.
