HISTORY:

Brazil constructed the largest football stadium on earth as an incredible setting for the 1950 finals, but one of the competition's biggest shocks prevented them from consecrating the Maracana's vast, three-tiered athletic cathedral with a maiden world championship.

In a FIFA World CupTM that featured a four-team mini-league as its conclusion, the hosts faced Uruguay in a decisive game that effectively served as the championship match. Brazil took the lead with a goal from Friaca in the 47th minute, needing only a draw, but Uruguay turned the game around with goals from Juan Schiaffino and Alcides Ghiggia. Around 200,000 voices stopped speaking as Brazil's small neighbor to the south celebrated a second world crown, and a deathly silence came upon the Maracana.
