Match overview
Portugal defeated Brazil 3-1 at Goodison Park, eliminating the defending champions from the tournament. António Simões opened the scoring, followed by two goals from Eusébio. Rildo scored Brazil’s only goal, but Portugal’s attacking display secured their place in the quarter-finals.
Trivia
This match is remembered for Eusébio’s outstanding performance and the physical intensity that saw Pelé repeatedly fouled and ultimately injured. Portugal’s win marked the end of Brazil’s reign as world champions and confirmed their own emergence as a footballing power.
