were scoreless. The second World Cup Final where at least one team was
scoreless.
This was the fourth World Cup
Final to go into extra time (after 1934, 1966, 1978).
10-By coming on as a
substitute Cafu managed to play in three straight World Cup finals (winning in
1994 and 2002 (as captain)).
11-Before the World Cup,
Brazil’s starting defensive formation was Jorginho, Ricardo Gomes, Ricardo
Rocha and Leonardo. Ricardo Gomes was injured before the finals (Marcio Santos
replaced him as starter) and the other three were injured/suspended, therefore
from the 21st minute of this final, the entire starting defensive
lineup had changed (Cafu, Marcio Santos, Aldair and Branco).
