PARIS, July 13: Croatian striker Davor Suker won the Golden Boot award as top scorer of the World Cup with six goals.

His strike in Croatia’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands in Saturday’s third place play-off took him one clear of Gabriel Batistuta of Argentina and Christian Vieri of Italy, each on five.

It would have needed at least a hat-trick in France’s 3-0 win over Brazil in Sunday’s final for Suker’s tally to have been overtaken.

And although Zinedine Zidane scored twice for France, only Ronaldo had any realistic chance of overhauling Suker. But the young Brazilian striker was off-colour and failed to add to his haul of four goals.
