Brazil 2, Germany 0. Ronaldo Scores Both Goals
The big question in 2002 centered on Brazil’s Ronaldo and whether he could exorcise the ghosts of four years earlier when the striker turned in a hugely subdued performance in the final against France. With eight goals, including the two in the final that finished off a resilient Germany, Ronaldo scored more times in a tournament than anyone since West Germany’s Gerd Muller in 1970. His goals helped Brazil reclaim the crown it lost on that curious night at Stade de France. Brazil, led by current coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, won an unprecedented fifth World Cup.
