If the BeIN sports commentator is to be believed, Chile made it through with 3 points in 1998, the only time in the 32 team era that has happened. I can't be arsed to look it up at the moment to verify.

The hardest part of the equation to believe is Italy bothering to win against Uruguay if a simple draw will send both teams through (and it probably will), this will be a replay of Germany - Austria '82 after the German 1-0.
