Match overview
Scotland took an early lead through Jordan and looked set for a famous win, but the USSR fought back with goals from Chivadze and Shengelia. Souness equalised with a late strike, but the draw was not enough for Scotland to progress due to goal difference. The match was played at a high tempo, with both sides pushing for the win in the closing stages.
Trivia
This was the third consecutive World Cup in which Scotland were eliminated on goal difference. The USSR advanced to the next round, while Scotland’s campaign ended in heartbreak once again.
