Apparently, the Italians decided to take their foot off the gas in this game... but the referee immediately decided to put a stop to it.
Brazil are strolling and in the 18th minute, Rivelino crosses for Pelé to head, who stretches out and scores...
It's the beginning of the Brazilian festival...
His name may be Gerson, but he's the one doubling the score for Brazil...
The Italians tried their luck. Headers, for example. But they were blown away by the Auriverde storm. However, Boninsegna equalized just before halftime following a gross defensive error by Brazil (37th minute).
It's the end. Brazil and Pelé can celebrate. They were on a roll throughout the entire Mexican World Cup.Mexico 70. Winner. BRAZIL.
A very nice cup for captain Carlos Alberto. Brazil's third World Cup victory after 1958 and 1962. So, he can even keep it...The man of the world.
King Pelé carried in triumph. He is truly the man of this World Cup. His fourth participation in a World Cup final phase (1958, 1962, 1966, and 1970) is a masterpiece. He soars above everyone, allowing himself impossible gestures. Simply at the height of his glory. He thus wins his third World Cup. In four participations, we are not far from a strike...
