Gonzalez makes World Cup debut

Porto midfielder Luis Gonzalez made his World Cup bow for one of the tournament favourites in this Group C encounter.

He replaced Esteban Cambiasso – the only change by coach Jose Pekerman to the side that defeated the Ivory Coast.

Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo partnered Javier Saviola up front. They both scored in the opening game.

Former Aston Villa forward Savo Milosevic won his 100th cap for Serbia and Montenegro, who knew they needed something from the match or they would be going home.
