53:17 Dunga goes down very easily under pressure from Scholes. The Englishman is disgusted with the theatrics and pushes Dunga. Unsurprisingly, the Brazilian flouders to the ground again. Handbags. They both get booked in an even more fussy way than the Shearer/Ronaldo incident.

Notes
- Tournament InfoDespite the loss, England win the Tournoi de France and their first international trophy on foreign soil.
- Player InjuriesDenilson gets an accidental kick to the face from Phil Neville [15:17] when the Englishman concedes a free kick on the left. He receives some treatment to a face injury which eventually forces him off [21:36]. Martin Keown went down heavily after challenging Leonardo in the air [17:44] and had to be stretchered off for, what would later be discovered as a chipped shoulder bone [19:35].
