Match overview
Czechoslovakia reached the World Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Yugoslavia in Viña del Mar. After a goalless first half, Kadraba put the Czechs ahead, but Jerković equalised. Scherer then scored twice in the closing stages, including a penalty, to send his team to the final.
Trivia
This semi-final featured two nations that no longer exist in their former forms. Adolf Scherer’s late double, including a penalty, proved decisive, while Jerković’s goal confirmed his status among the leading scorers of the tournament.
