LENS, Jun. 21, 1998 (AMP) — France 98 : Germany tied 2-2 with Yugoslavia (halftime: 0-1), in a World Cup group stage game on Sunday afternoon at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

The result put the Germans top of Group F with 4 points. Yugoslavia is second with 4 points. In their last game, Germany will meet third-placed Iran at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on June 25, while Yugoslavia will face the United States.
