1:0 Pelé (19.)
1:1 Roberto Boninsegna (37.)
2:1 Gerson (65.)
3:1 Jairzinho (70.)
4:1 Carlos Alberto Torres (86.)

In the 1970 World Cup Final, Brazil struck first, with Pelé heading in a cross by Rivelino at the 18th minute. Roberto Boninsegna equalized for Italy after a blunder in the Brazilian defence. In the second half, Brazil's firepower and creativity was too much for an Italian side that clung to their cautious defensive system. Gérson fired in a powerful shot for the second goal, and then helped provide the third, with a long free kick to Pelé who headed down into the path of the onrushing Jairzinho. Pelé capped his superb performance by drawing the Italian defence in the centre and feeding captain Carlos Alberto on the right flank for the final score. Carlos Alberto's goal, after a series of moves by the Brazilian team from the left to the centre, is considered one of the greatest goals ever scored in the history of the tournament.

A total of 8 outfield players from Brazil passed the ball until Captain Carlos Alberto hammered the ball into the corner of the Italian goal following an inch perfect pass across the Italian 18 yard box from Pelé, prompted by the intelligent Tostão, who, with his back to the goal, told Pelé that Alberto was steaming in on the right flank. Tostão started the move 5 yards from the left of the Brazilian 18 yard box, then ran the length of the field to the Italian box without touching the ball again to tell Pelé to lay it off for Alberto. The players involved in the passes in order were Tostão, Brito, Clodoaldo, Pelé, Gérson, defender Clodoaldo beat 4 Italian players in his own half before passing to Rivelino who hit a perfect pass down the wing to Jairzinho. Jairzinho crossed from the wing to the centre of the box to Pelé who held the ball up to play a pass for Alberto to smash it home. The only outfield players not involved in the move were Everaldo and Piazza. The full team was Carlos Alberto, Felix, Piazza, Brito, Clodoaldo, Everaldo Antonio, Jairzinho, Gérson, Tostão, Pelé and Rivelino. Brazil won the World Cup with 19 goals scored by 7 players, all of whom featured in the Carlos Alberto goal. Before the finals in Mexico, Brazil had to play the qualifying rounds against Colombia, Venezuela and Paraguay. Brazil was far superior winning all 6 games, scoring 23 goals and conceding only 2. In the last match of the qualifying rounds Brazil beat Paraguay 1-0 and had the largest official audience ever recorded for a football match, with 183,341 spectators in Brazil's Maracanã Stadium. In total the Brazilian team won all 12 games , scoring 42 goals and conceding only 8.

This victory consecrated the first tri-campeão (three-time champions) in football history.

With this third win after 1958 and 1962, Brazil earned the right to retain the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently. (Ironically, it was stolen in 1983 while on display in Rio de Janeiro and never recovered.) Brazilian coach Mário Zagallo was the first footballer to become World Cup champion as a player (1958, 1962) and a coach, and Pelé ended his World Cup playing career as the first (and so far only) three-time winner.

  • riva was the second top player in that match after pelè

  • @AVFCsi02 You just don´t understand football.

    Barcelona would rape this Brazil. I can assure you that.

  • @elpelusas10 Y de todas formas, el sentido de lo que escribí no era establecer quien fuera mejor entre Pelé y Maradona, sino contrastar esa absurda opinión que los defensas de hoy son mejor de los de los '70, '80 y '90.

    Yo estoy convencido que no sólo Brasil de 70, sino también Alemaña de 74, Italia de 82, Argentina de '86, Brasil de 94 Francia de 98 y Brasil de 2002 fueron mejor que España de 2010.

  • @elpelusas10 No lo creo: tengo tu misma opinion de Maradona, pero él en '82 tená 22 y no tenía la experiencia para resistir a una defensa tan agresiva: en el Napoli ya sabía como hacerse respetar por los defensas. Pelé en '70 tenía otra edad y otro nivel de experiencia, y tenía un equipo alrededor que Maradona ni en sus sueños pude tener.

  • @feanorelf1 gentile vera matado apele no ay comparacion e che, pele no pudo con trapatoni, medi tus palabras, pele salio jodido ene l 66 no pudo con marias d eportugal, diegoelma sgrande del mundo

  • @GABRIELVICTORIUS Italia en 1970 tenía unos de los mejores defensas de la historia del futbol: Facchetti, Burgnich, Rosato. En esos días se jugaba con defensa individual, para la cual se necesitaba un nivel técnico mucho superior que para la defensa en zona. Una buena defensa individual hace la vida del delantero un infierno (mira la de Gentile contra Maradona y Zico, y Burgnich era al nivel de Gentile).

    Ese Brasil destruyo a la mejor Italia de la historia, simplemente porque era "demasiado".

  • @gohddigeanixa Do you mean the "modern football system" that was invented by Rinus Michels at Ajax in the late 60's and introduced to Barcelona/Spain by Johan Cruyff when he became the manager of Barcelona in 1988? Oh that one. Yeah its actually a Dutch system implemented by Johan Cruyff and continued his country men Louis van Gaal, Frank Rijkaard and most recently one of his former players, Pep Guardiola. Cruyff is real the daddy of this Barcelona/Spain team. He fathered their style.

  • Killer 4th goal...

  • brasil the king of kings of soccer,fuck spain only one cup and they think that they are the best,fuck them!!!

  • the name of the song please
