Final World Cup 1962

The final of the football World Cup in 1962 was the 7th edition of the football that was played within the framework of the FIFA World Cup . The competition took place on June 17th 1962 between Brazil and Czechoslovakia . The final was played at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago .

One false move and the star of the tournament, Garrincha would not participate in the final for his red card against Chile. Garrincha was given leniency, because this is his first offense and was once a telegram to 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 from 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 a further error of Schrojf. The Brazilians were less brilliant as four years ago in Sweden, but also proved without Pelé strong enough to extend the world.
