Brazil unhappy
Brazil were in a group with
Austria, Sweden and Spain. In their first match against
Sweden there was a very strange decision by Welsh referee
Clive Thomas. At the end of the first half he gave Brazil a
corner.
They took it and Zico scored - but the referee did not
allow the goal. He had blown his whistle while the ball was
travelling from the corner flag to the penalty area. Mr
Thomas did referee another World Cup match.
Argentina reach final
The Brazilians were even
unhappier about what happened in the second stage. After a
violent 0-0 draw with their neighbours, Argentina,
everything depended on the last round of group games.
Because Brazil played their game first, Argentina knew that
they needed to beat Peru by more than four goals
In the first few minutes Peru hit the post, but Argentina
played seven forwards and attacked for the rest of the
game. They won 6-0, with Mario Kempes scoring two
goals.
