Portugal 3 - 1 Brazil
WC 1966 group stage · 1966-07-19 Referee: George McCabe

Pele

But

Apparently one member of the FA was sane enough to say that Englishmen were not Latin Americans. The president of FIFA was an Englishman (Rous) and McCabe would certainly go to the boss if they tried to offer him money.

McCabe

So the Brazilians had to play the match fairly, but one Portuguese player didn't. George McCabe made a big mistake not sending off Morais for fouling Pele. The Brazilian star had been injured before the match but decided to play anyway. He was kicked twice badly by Morais. McCabe did nothing and was sent home after this match.
