11 Classic FIFA World Cup Matches

11. Brazil Vs. Peru (1970, Quarter Final)

Many consider the 1970 FIFA World Cup the best tournament in the tournament's history. It had many thrilling games, and the quarterfinal between Brazil and Peru was among them, as the two South American nations' greatest teams played out an enthralling encounter at the Estadio Jalisco that included six goals.

Brazil started the game strongly, going one up after 11 minutes, when Tostao laid up Rivelino to score with sweet low shot from the edge of Peru's box. Things got even better for Brazil four minutes later when Tostao scored himself. Peru were on the ropes, but they got back in the match during the first half when Chumpitaz played a long ball to Gallardo who fired in a low drive from a very tight angle.

Brazil re-established a two goal lead shortly into the second half when Tostao put the ball in the net, only for Peru to pull another goal back courtesy of Cubillas' low drive. The Brazilians had to finish their opponents off, and they duly did when Jairzinho rushed past Peru's goalkeeper and fired into an open net to make the final score 4-2.
