By half time, Italy were level courtesy of Boninsegna and it wasn't until more than an hour in to the final, that Gérson restored Brazil's lead.
 
Goals from Jairzinho and Alberto secured Brazil's victory.  The record breaking third World Cup triumph earned Brazil the right to make the Jules Rimet their own.
