Editing 1958 FIFA World Cup (section)

=== Final ===
The [[1958 FIFA World Cup Final|final]] was played in [[Solna Municipality|Solna]], in the [[Råsunda Stadium]]; 50,000 people watched as the Brazilians went a goal down after four minutes. However, [[Vavá]] equalised shortly afterwards and then put them a goal ahead before half time. In the second half, Pelé outshone everyone, notching two goals, including the first one where he lobbed the ball over [[Bengt Gustavsson]] then followed it with a precise volley shot. [[Mário Zagallo|Zagallo]] added a goal in between, and Sweden managed a consolation goal.

The Final saw many records made in World Cup history that still stand {{as of|2018|lc=y}}. At age 17, Pelé simultaneously became the youngest player to participate in, score, and win a World Cup final. Conversely, [[Nils Liedholm]] became the oldest player to score in a World Cup Final at 35 years 263 days. This final had the highest number of goals scored by a winning team (5), the highest number of total goals scored (7), and together with the [[1970 FIFA World Cup Final|1970]] and [[1998 FIFA World Cup Final|1998]] finals shares the highest goal margin of difference (3); Brazil played in all those three finals.

The game is also notable for many firsts in FIFA World Cup. With the exception of the [[1950 FIFA World Cup]] final group stage, this marked the first time that a World Cup host reached the final without winning it. Additionally, the match marked the first time two nations from different continents (Europe and South America) met in a World Cup final. It also marks the first and only World Cup hosted in Europe not won by a European team, a feat mirrored in [[2014 FIFA World Cup|2014]] where a World Cup hosted in the [[Americas]] was not won by a team from the Americas for the first time, with [[2014 FIFA World Cup Final|Germany beating Argentina 1–0 at the final]].
