Brazil vs Mexico Brazilians attacked and Mexicans defended for most of the match. In the first half Pelé hit the woodwork with a free kick outside the box. Ten minutes after the break he made a cross from the right on Zagallo who headed the first goal. Then, after 73 minutes, Pele dribbled past four defenders and scored with his left foot from inside the penalty area.A Look Back at Pelé's Legendary Takedown of Mexico's Defense at the 1962 FIFA World CupBrazil vs Mexico on YouTube

Czechoslovakia vs Spain Spain took the initiative but only managed to create danger in disorganized attacks. Spanish players repelled the harshness of the Czechs with the same violence. That fact provoked the snub of spectators who soon leaned in favour of Czechoslovakia. The injuries of Rivilla and Reija, the two defensive sides, made things worse for Spain. The Czechs seemed to settle for the draw but in 10 minutes' time a mistake from the centre of the Spanish field allowed Josef Štibrányi to face Carmelo's goal and score. The Spanish team weighed down by the injuries managed to create very little danger in the last minutes of the match.Czechoslovakia vs Spain on YouTube

Spain vs Mexico The game had very little rhythm and Spanish attacks were lost or easily stopped by the Aztec defense or goalkeeper Carbajal. In the second half physical spending began to take its toll on Spain and Mexico took attack positions. However in one of counterattacks Luis Suárez and Puskás scored a goal which was cancelled for offside. In the last minutes of the game Mexicans claimed a penalty in the Spanish area. The game continued and the ball reached Gento who made a run on the left wing. Gento passed in to Peiró who finished past Carbajal a few seconds from the final whistle. Spain achieves victory, Santamaría, Pachín and Peiró were named the best men of the Spanish side according to the press.España 1962, Helenio Herrera y la H3C (Segunda parte)

Brazil vs Spain Spain had control of the game in the first half and took the lead 10 minutes before halftime when Adelardo shot into the bottom corner from twenty meters. At the beginning of the second half Nílton Santos committed a foul inside the penalty area but the referee being far away from the episode awarded only a free kick to the Spanish team.Brazil in the World Cup 1962 Spain also had a goal disallowed for no evident reason.
