From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The 1970 Football World Cup was held in Mexico.
It was won by Brazil, who beat Italy 4-1 in the final.
Since this was the third win for the Brazilian team (they had already won 1958 and 1962), they were entitled to keep the Jules Rimet trophy.
The most memorable match of the tournament, and by many regarded as one of the greatest matches in World Cup history, may have been the Italian 4-3 win after extra time over Germany in the semifinal. Italy lead by 1-0 until the 90th minute when Karl-Heinz Schnellinger scored the equaliser during injury time. Then, during extra time, the lead changed from a German 2-1 to an Italian 3-2, when Gerd Müller equalised again before Gianni Rivera scored the winning goal in the 111th minute.
