We study the asymptotic behaviour, as the retarded timeu tends to infinity, of the solutions of Einstein's equations in the spherically symmetric case with a massless scalar field as the material model. We prove that when the final Bondi massM 1 is different from zero, asu → ∞, a black hole forms of massM 1 surrounded by vacuum. We find the rate of decay of the metric functions and the behaviour of the scalar field on the horizon.
