A review of the friendly match between Brazil and the USSR, which took place on November 21, 1965 at the famous Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, when the Soviet team shocked the 132,000 spectators by coming back from two goals down against the two-time world champions. The senior coach of the USSR national team, Nikolai Morozov, fielded the following lineup: Lev Yashin - Dynamo Moscow, Vladimir Ponomarev - CSKA Moscow, Albert Shesternev - CSKA Moscow, Vasily Danilov - Zenit Leningrad, Valery Voronin - captain - Torpedo Moscow (Galimzyan Khusainov, 76), Valentin Afonin (Murtaz Khurtsilava - Dynamo Tbilisi, 73), Slava Metreveli - Dynamo Tbilisi, Jozsef Sabo - Dynamo Kyiv, Anatoly Banishevsky - Neftyanik Baku, Eduard Malofeev - Dynamo Minsk (Mikhail Meskhi - Dynamo Tbilisi, 46), Oleg Kopaev - SKA Rostov-on-Don. Goals: Zherson (51), Pele (54), Banishevsky (59), Metreveli (85). The material from which the review was made did not contain any goals from the USSR national team. The first one, scored by Banishevsky, I never found on the Internet. The second one (Metreveli) I found on my computer and inserted into the review. But there are plenty of moments at the Brazilian goal, right up to a scissor kick while falling over himself...
