PLOT

The 1970 World Cup in Mexico will be remembered as the one in which defensive, dirty soccer was defeated by defensive, creative soccer. Relive the magic of the brilliant Brazilian team led by Pelé. The “match of the century” between Italy and Germany, which featured five goals in extra time. And the grand final between Brazil and Italy, considered one of the greatest matches of all time. This was the World Cup where soccer shone like never before and where Mexico won the Friendship Trophy.
