  • "After 31 minutes Brazil took the lead. A corner - Brazil's sixth - was forced on the left. Zagallo placed it beautifully and Garrincha raced in from the edge of the penalty area and headed a splendid goal." Garrincha, 32'
  • "Six minutes [after the disallowed goal] Vava again beat Springett, and this time there was no reprieve for England. Flowers was penalised for hands just outside the penalty area, and after Springett had only partially stopped the free kick taken by Garrincha, Vava flung himself forward and headed the ball into the net." Vavá, 53'
  • "Brazil were now comfortably on top, and Garrincha scored their third goal in the 58th minute with a great drive from 20 yards. Springett appeared the think the ball would go over the crossbar, but it dipped at the last minute and went into the right hand corner of the net." Garrincha, 58'

Notes

  • 12 players on the pitch?Within a minute of kick-off a stray black dog wanders onto the pitch in the England left back position. The pup is uninterested in the play and evades Springett, Garrincha and Charlton, but it is Jimmy Greaves who gets down on all fours to grab hold of the meddling canine. He gets a round of applause, or maybe the dog does. Play is only held-up for a minute or so.
  • Player InjuriesIn the fourth minute [3:52] Didi is clipped on the right ankle whilst trying to take a shot. He is helped from the field and returns in the eighth minute [7:20]. Amarildo injured his left leg in the first half. Both continued to play on but had "lost some effectiveness."
  • Goal Disallowed"Vava shot the ball past Springett in the 47th minute, but the referee ruled that there had been some infringement, and no goal was allowed."
