1986 World Cup: Classic Game
France v Brazil
The quarter final between
France and Brazil brings together two great players: Michel
Platini and Zico.
Both teams are looking to compensate for disappointment in
1982
The Brazilians dominate the
game and score first. France equalise through Platini. In
the 71st minute Zico comes on as a substitute.
Brazil win a penalty less than ten minutes later. The fans
call out Zico's name. The Brazilian steps forward. Is he
going to put Brazil in the semi-final?
He isn't. – and misses! France go on to win 2-1.
