🇧🇷 Jogo Histórico: Brasil vs. Germany 🇩🇪
Match Snapshot: International Friendly, Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion, Stuttgart, March 25, 1998, Attendance 52,803, Result 2-1 to Brazil (Goals: César Sampaio, Ronaldo), Contested by two controversial red cards (Germany's Kohler 35', Brazil's Dunga 57').
This photo captures the starting XI before kickoff in a fiery pre-World Cup friendly against Germany. The match became a 10-vs-10 affair after German veteran Jürgen Kohler was the first player dismissed in the 35th minute. The advantage was short-lived, however, as Captain Dunga's controversial expulsion in the 57th minute leveled the sides. Dunga's absence forced the captain's armband onto Ronaldo, highlighting the high stakes.
