Match overview
Brazil secured their second consecutive World Cup title with a 3-1 victory over Czechoslovakia in Santiago. After Masopust opened the scoring, Amarildo equalised almost immediately. Brazil took control in the second half, with Zito and Vava adding goals to seal the win and confirm Brazil’s dominance on the world stage.
Trivia
This final marked the first time a team won the World Cup without their star player, as Brazil triumphed despite Pelé’s injury earlier in the tournament. Amarildo, his replacement, played a crucial role by scoring the equaliser in the final. The match was also a rematch of a group stage encounter that ended goalless.
