Portugal faced a challenging path to qualify for the 1998 World Cup, starting with a goalless draw against Armenia and a loss to Ukraine. The situation looked promising when Portugal took the lead against European champions Germany, with Barbosa scoring in Berlin. However, Rui Costa’s slow pace during a substitution led to two yellow cards, further complicating matters. Portugal ended up third in their group, falling three points short of Germany and one point behind Ukraine. This failure marked the last time Portugal did not qualify for a major international tournament as of now.
