00:00The Czech team come onto the field for the final with Brazil.
00:04More public relations.
00:15And the Brazilians run in in striped shorts and white socks.
00:21Pille has to set this last game out among the 55,000 spectators.
00:29It's perfect cup-final weather, and for the most part it was typical cup-final football.
00:36And Brazil won the toss. Can this be a good omen?
00:51Right from the first whistle, Brazil seemed to be getting the better of the game.
01:03Both sides appear to be just a little nervous on this big occasion.
01:24And now it's Czechoslovakia on the attack.
01:28Ball is crossed, put through.
01:30But Gilmar dives just a little bit too quick for centre-forward of the Czechoslovakian side.
01:36And now Brazil come back on the attack.
01:49And Streif has to be on his toes for this one.
01:52Well, that was indeed a close shave.
01:58But now a sharp Czechoslovakian counter-attack.
02:03Ball is put through to Masipus, who shoots and it's a goal!
02:06First blood to the Czechoslovakian side.
02:34Checks us in the back here still attack.
02:38We're in the back here.
02:38Then the Brazilians begin to pull out some of their tricks.
02:54And the bare two minutes later,
02:56Amarildo whipped the ball smartly in from the left to make the score even.
02:59Troyes either were expecting a centre, not a shot.
03:15Free kick for Brazil, another dangerous moment there, but cleared away by the Czechoslovakian defence.
03:27And half-time, it's Brazil 1, Czechoslovakia 1.
03:41For the first 25 minutes of the second half, the game is even.
03:50But Brazil doing perhaps just a little more attacking there with a fine shot from Carincha.
04:15Now it's Brazil who bring the ball away again.
04:20The pass out to Amarildo on the left wing.
04:23He crosses the ball.
04:26Ahead by Zito, and it's in the net!
04:28Brazil have got a 2-1 lead.
04:34And the Brazilians go crazy with the light.
04:40And it seems as though scorer Zito has been injured.
04:45But now, as usual, the photographers flock onto the field.
04:57The Czechs appear in no mood to give up.
05:10More attacks from this Czech side.
05:15But the Brazilian defence is standing firm.
05:28Again, Massapus crossed in the middle, but a brilliant save by Gilmar.
05:40And now Brazil on to the attack.
05:43And it's a throw-in for Brazil.
05:52Taken by Garincha, that outside right.
05:59It's lobbed high into the middle.
06:01Up goes Schroeth.
06:02He fumbles, and Varber has it in the net.
06:043-1 to Brazil.
06:11And now there's wild jubilation.
06:15Again, the photographers swarm onto the field.
06:20But no one wants to take the picture of the unhappiest man in the World Cup.
06:36The game is over.
06:39The referee cleverly runs out to the line to collect the ball.
06:43Keep it as a souvenir.
06:53Not only photographers swarming on the field, but all the officials too.
07:09Smiles, and tears of joy and disappointment.
07:29Tomorrow, the Brazilian captain receives the Jules remake cup.
07:34For the second time in succession, it will stay in Rio de Janeiro.
07:37This time until 1966.
07:41And the victorious captain, the captain receives the Jules remake cup.
