Teixeira

How

To know how he managed that you first have to realize Teixeira was Joao Havelange's son-in-law and Joao Havelange was the president of FIFA. Secondly Teixeira was in the habit of using the Brazilian FA's money for his own purposes. With the money and his wife's dad behind him he went to work.

heights

So Brazil got their home and away matches they way they wanted, but there were more things. Quito was too high, the air too thin according to Teixeira. He wanted the match to be played in Guayaqil. According to David Yallop, Teixeira had to pay the Peruvian FA president 100.000 dollars for the stadium change. Still Brazil didn't win.
