The five teams in this group played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The group winner Croatia qualified for the 17th FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan. The runner-up Belgium advanced to the UEFA Play-off and played against the Czech Republic. The group had seen a very close three-way battle between Croatia, Scotland and Belgium, with several draws between the top three sides: ultimately it was only decided towards the end when Belgium's defeat of Scotland put paid to all but the mathematical goal-difference chances of the Scots, and left Belgium in first place in the group, only to be defeated by Croatia in the final match, with Croatia thus overtaking them for first place in the group and finishing unbeaten.
