Portugal faced a challenging path to qualify for the 1998 World Cup following a goalless draw against Armenia and a loss to Ukraine. Their prospects brightened a year later when they took the lead against European champions Germany, with Barbosa scoring to make it 1-0 in the away match in Berlin. However, a pivotal moment occurred during a substitution on the Portuguese side, as Rui Costa's slow exit resulted in him receiving two yellow cards. Ultimately, Portugal finished third in the group, trailing Germany by three points and Ukraine by one, marking the last time, to date, that Portugal failed to qualify for a major international tournament.
