After their 1-0 victory against Haiti in their opening game, Scotland failed in their attempt to win consecutive games and to keep a clean sheet at a FIFA World Cup finals for the first time. . This was the first time that the Scots had conceded the opening goal within two minutes of a game at a FIFA World Cup tournament: previously 4th minute by Paraguay’s Juan Bautista Aguero in Norrköping, Sweden in 1958. . Scotland's starting XI consisted of players with a combined total of 609 caps: the most-ever for a game in their history.
