After a 12-year abscence, the World Cup returned to South America with Chile as the host. In a World Cup Tournament which saw tight defensive play, Brazil went on to win its second straight title. Pele was injured in the opening round against Mexico and had to sit out the Final against Czechoslovakia. Josef Masopust gave Czechoslovakia an early lead but goals by Amarildo, Zito and Vava lifted the superb Brazilians to a 3-1 victory and their second straight World Cup crown. Brazil joined Italy as the only two nations to repeat as champions.
Garricha and Vava were among five other players to score four goals apiece.
