Pele \u2013 Brazil vs Sweden \u2013 1958 World Cup Final<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Few players are as synonymous with the FIFA World Cup as Brazilian icon Pele and his haul of 3 goals in World Cup finals has only been beaten by Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1958 World Cup in Sweden was very much Pele\u2019s breakthrough tournament, with the then 17-year-old propelling Brazil to their first World Cup triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the tournament, Pele scored 6 goals, but it was his first goal in the final against hosts Sweden that has been etched into footballing folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the score at 2-1, the ball was speculatively chipped into the penalty area, but Pele managed to control it on his chest, chip it over the head of the Swedish centre back and hammer the ball home on the volley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pele Goal | Brazil v Sweden | 1958 FIFA World Cup Final\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TYNsrKtV6Mc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, the momentum was all with Brazil and they went on to win the game 5-2, with Pele scoring the again in injury time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Carlos Alberto \u2013 Brazil vs Italy \u2013 1970 World Cup Final<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The aforementioned Pele was on the scoresheet in a World Cup Final once again in 1970, as Brazil cruised to an emphatic win over Italy in Mexico, but it was team mate Carlos Alberto who bagged stand out goal on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the late 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s, Brazil were undoubtedly the dominant force in world football \u2013 winning three out of four World Cups and by 1970, their golden era was in full flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed to the hilt by incredible support in Mexico, Brazil made light work of most of their games in the run up to the final against Italy and their dominance continued at the Estadio Azteca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pele gave Brazil the lead and while Italy equalised, further goals from Gerson and Jarizinho gave them a healthy cushion, before Carlos Alberto stole the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fed the ball by Pele, Alberto ran on to a flowing Brazil attack to hammer the ball home with the outside of his right foot to seal a 4-1 win and yet another World Cup crown for Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"1998 WORLD CUP FINAL: Brazil 0-3 France\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tmjFa9LB7Pg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Zinedine Zidane \u2013 France vs Brazil \u2013 1998 World Cup Final<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosts France were carrying the weight of expectation going into the 1998 World Cup and they had perhaps rode their luck a touch to reach the final against Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the likes of Ronaldo and Rivaldo in their team, there was an expectation that Brazil would cruise to victory but a pre-match mystery surrounding Ronaldo seemed to give les blues increased hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the game started, France were willed on by their passionate home support and up stepped Zinedine Zidane to etch himself into French footballing history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set pieces were far from France\u2019s forte throughout the tournament but Zidane opened the scoring with a thunderous header from a corner and then backed it up with another before half time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both headers gave France a healthy 2-0 lead and despite Marcel Desailly being sent off in the second half, Emmanuel Petit sealed the win for France, as they lifted their first FIFA World Cup title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"1998 WORLD CUP FINAL: Brazil 0-3 France\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tmjFa9LB7Pg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
