Minute

The real game began at the 19th minute of the game when Pele shot a header going past Rivelino. Italy earned tie by hitting a sucker punch when only eight minutes remained for halftime. Roberto Boninsegna took advantage of Colorado’s defensive glitch and hit the ball past goalkeeper Felix. In the second half, Brazil kept troubling Italy until in the 65th-minute Midfielder Gerson made a goal right from outside the penalty area that gave Brazil lead by 2-1. No need to say that by now the pressure had been mounted on Italy. It took worse form when just after five minutes Gerson once again came to the scene and passed a long ball forward to Pele. Pele passed it to Jarizinho who scored the goal.
