It was close enough or the star of the tournament, Garrincha would not participate in the finals because of his red card against Chile. Garrincha was given leniency, because this is his first offense was once and a telegram from the Prime Minister of Brazil to FIFA also helped. Garrincha, however, played with 39 degrees fever and was not as dominant as against England and Chile.

Czechoslovakia played his best game of the tournament and came through a goal from midfielder Josef Masopust ahead. An error by goalkeeper Schrojf provided the equalizer Amarildo and in the second half to beat the Brazilians 2-1 by Zito and 3-1 by Vavá, which benefited from another error of Schrojf. The Brazilians were less brilliant as four years ago in Sweden, but also proved without Pele strong enough to extend the world.
