Comments:

Ivory Coast finish in third place in Group C. This was their first-ever win at the World Cup finals. The last time a team recovered from being two goals down to win a World Cup finals match was West Germany against England in 1970.

Comments:

Serbia & Montenegro finish bottom of Group C. This was Serbia & Montenegro's final game before the two countries split in to separate nations and, therefore, separate football federations. Albert Nadj becomes the 15th substitute to be sent-off in a World Cup finals game, but the first-ever sub to be shown a red card in the first half.
