1-1 still. (~25 mins)

1-0 Liedholm
1-1 Vava

Sweden started bloody well and 1-0 was deserved. Brazil has pushed forward
lately, but the game is quite level so far. Axbom has great difficulties
with Garrincha.

~30 mins

This game is wide-open so far! Dangerous Swedish cross, and some nice
short-passing without the last touch. Some dangerous shots from Brazil, but
not much more. Wide open!

1-2 [32] Vava again

Sweden had some good flashes just before. I don't think it is deserved, but
someone had to do the next goal... :-( Once again from the right flank
(Swedish left defense) Very similar goals.

Oh my god... Sweden with a scoring chance directly after... shit.

Pele with some great moves towards the end of first. Good Swedish chance!
Bad shot. Could have easily been 2-2 at 44...

HT
Come on Sweden!

Hmm... Brazil has started the 2nd half a bit better. The pitch is bad
(wet), players slipping everywhere.

Still 1-2. But this is still an open game. Brazil is packing their box
well. Sweden trying to short-pass through.

1-3 [55] that young bloke, Pele. Very poor defense in the box by Sweden...
Okay, perhaps Brazil deserves a lead, but by 2 I think is too much, really.
It's actually the defense that impresses the most with Brazil so far.

Brazil is controlling the game, Sweden has to work hard to gain possession
back.

But the main difference between the teams is Garrincha. Clearly the most
dangerous offensive threat on the field.

What's striking is how clean the game is. No dives either.

~20 mins.

Swedes look like they've given up now. :-( But 1-4 isn't really mirroring
this game, imo. Brazil hasn't been _that_ much better.

[75] Still 1-4.

This match seems to have ended after the 1-4 goal. Sweden starting to miss
passes left and right. Brazil in total control.

Foul play from Sweden just outside the box... freekick comes... outside...
close...

Still 2-4

[90] 2-5 Pele scores again, meaningless goal. Whistle is blown, final
result.

Congrats Brazil. I don't particularly like your cynical, defensive
anti-football, going for the counter-attack, but you scored more goals,
so... champs by the rules of the game and tournament.

Best Swedes: Parling, Gren
Best Brazilians: Garrincha, N Santos, Pele
