The fierce, violent, low-scoring group stage raises a glimmer of concern about the next knockout rounds, so will the next game disappoint people?
The eight teams from the group will fight each other until the final champion is decided. In the first round of the quarter-finals, host Chile faced the first European Championship winner, the Soviet Union, in 1960. Although the Soviet Union has super goalkeepers like Yasin in the squad, their defense in this World Cup is not good, and they have conceded 5 goals. Sure enough, just 11 minutes into the tournament, Chile's Lionel Sanchez scored his third goal in the cup. Although the Soviet Union equalized at one point, Eradio Rojas' goal in the 29th minute of the match allowed Chile to advance to the final four 2-1.

Brazil, missing Pele, are playing against England in the quarter-finals. Although Pele can only watch from the sidelines, Brazil still has stars in the squad, especially Garrincha, who is known as the bird. The Brazilian star, whose legs were 6 centimetres shorter than the other, constantly teased England's players during the game, and finally with his mecca and Wawa's goal, Brazil beat England 3:1 to advance to the final four.
In contrast, the matches between the Federal Republic of Germany and Yugoslavia and Hungary vs Czechoslovakia were boring for many teams, and Yugoslavia did not narrowly beat the Federal Republic of Germany with a beautiful goal until just before the end of the match. Czechoslovakia scored in the opening 13 minutes by Schererel, relying on airtight defensive tactics to win Hungary 1-0.
In the semi-finals, Brazil met Chile, and although chile were as fierce as ever, even a little brutal, they were also on their backs from time to time on the field. But this also can't stop the soaring bird Garrincha, Garrincha once again scored twice, Wava also staged a double, and finally Brazil beat the hosts 4:2, two consecutive World Cups to advance to the final.
In another semi-final, with Schererer's penalty, Czechoslovakia eliminated Yugoslavia 3-1 and advanced to the World Cup final for the second time in its history. It is worth mentioning that Cherell has scored 3 goals in the knockout rounds.
In the third- and fourth-place finals, host Chile achieved its best result in World Cup history thanks to Eladio Rojas' last-minute goal.
The final is imminent, but a more magical thing happened, that is, Garrincha, who should have been banned, appeared in the final, and it is said that in order to let Garrincha play in the final, the Brazilian president came forward. Eventually, FIFA took sides and lifted Garrincha's ban. In the 15th minute of the match, Czechoslovakia's Masopst took the lead for his side. But the joy in Czechoslovakia lasted only two minutes, with super substitute Amardor making another contribution as he helped Brazil equalise. The two teams shook hands 1-1 in the first half.
In the second half, Brazil was in full control of the game, Amarillo sent an assist in the 68th minute of the game, Zito's header reversed the score, and in the 77th minute of the game, Vawa grabbed the opponent's goalkeeper error and locked the score at 3:1, Brazil also successfully defended the title with this score, becoming the third team to win the World Cup twice after Uruguay and Italy.
Although Brazil has completed the defense of the title, the World Cup is still difficult to say, with a total of 32 games, only 89 goals, and an average of 2.78 goals per game. The top scorers also scored only four goals, but there were six men tied: Brazil's Garincha and Vawa, Chile's Sanchez, Yugoslavia's Jerkovic, The Soviet Union's Ivanov and Hungary's Albert. In contrast to the low goal rate is the high death rate, with a total of 34 players withdrawing from the tournament due to injury in this World Cup.
