It was a tournament to forget for Bolivia, who left without a single victory to their name.
Bolivia found the group stage unforgiving, unable to pick up a single victory against their opponents. Their campaign featured a heavy 0-4 defeat to Yugoslavia, and a heavy 0-4 defeat to Brazil. The World Cup dream ended earlier than hoped, with Bolivia bowing out in the first round.
