22 June, Frankfurt. Scotland 1-1 Yugoslavia<\/i><\/p>\n
Victory would take Scotland into the last eight. Even a draw would have been good enough if Brazil failed to beat Zaire by three clear goals. But they did, winning 3-0.<\/p>\n
The Scots fell a goal behind with fewer than 10 minutes left, with Jordan’s late equaliser not enough. <\/p>\n
Yugoslavia, Brazil and Scotland finished level on points, with the team who scored fewest against Zaire eliminated.<\/p>\n
“Over the three games, we only conceded one goal,” Jordan says. “You go back to the Zaire game, there’s a lot of disappointment – we should have done a lot more damage.<\/p>\n
“The only thing Ormond could have done differently was maybe bring Johnstone on against Brazil and Yugoslavia. He didn’t play in a single game. <\/p>\n
“I don’t know if that was for disciplinary reasons. On reflection, he probably would have made a difference.”<\/p>\n
Brazil and Yugoslavia progressed to the last eight only to both go out in the second group stage. <\/p>\n
West Germany beat Netherlands 2-1 in the final, but lost to East Germany earlier in the tournament, leaving Scotland as the only unbeaten team in the finals.<\/p>\n
