the 1950 fifa world cup final between them is perhaps the most famous match between brazil and uruguay as the match has been seen as the biggest in their rivalry. brazil had cruised to victory in their first group stage, group 1, as they beat every single team except switzerland, who they only got to a 2–2 draw. uruguay on the other hand, had only played one game in the entire tournament against bolivia as france withdrew from the tournament and leaving the group with only two teams. uruguay demolished bolivia 8–0 and automatically qualified to the final round. before the final match, brazil had beaten sweden 7–1 and spain 6–1, while uruguay barely scraped a 2–2 draw with spain and a 3–2 win over sweden. brazil had also won the 1949 south american championship, just a year before (also in brazil), and many brazilians expected a repeat of their 5–1 win over them during the tournament. much of brazil was already celebrating their victory before the match began. multiple brazilian news publications had already reported a brazilian victory, while many civilians were busy in the streets, anticipating what-would-have-been-then, brazil's first world cup triumph. on the contrary, uruguay were preparing for an upset and captain, obdulio varela, told his fellow teammates, while they were in his bathroom to urinate on a bunch of brazilian newspapers that had already declared brazil, winners of the tournament. brazil only needed at least a draw with uruguay to win the competition, however, in the 79th minute of the match, alcides ghiggia, scored an unexpected winner under brazilian goalkeeper, barbosa, to bring the score 2–1 in uruguay's favor. the entire stadium (minus the uruguayans), was eerily quiet for the rest of the game. many brazilians were heartbroken after the match and there was no celebration in the streets. much of the blame of the loss was directed towards barbosa, for not saving the crucial shot, and he wasn't allowed to come to commentate a match or come to a training session for fear that we would jinx the team. however, he said in an interview before his death in 2000 that, "the maximum punishment in brazil is 30 years imprisonment, but i have been paying, for something i am not even responsible for, by now, for 50 years." ghiggia, on the other hand would say that only 3 people have ever silenced the maracanã: frank sinatra, pope john paul ii, and him.
