At the match, which also opened the rebuilt
Stade du Parc Lescure
, Brazil took the lead 1?0, with Czechoslovakia equalizing on a
penalty kick
for ball handling by
Domingos da Guia
. The Brazilian
Zeze Procopio
was sent off after fourteen minutes. The Brazilian
Arthur Machado
and the Czechoslovak
Jan ?iha
were sent off just before full time.

It was the first time that three players were sent off in a World Cup match, a record that was equaled at the
Battle of Berne 1954
between Hungary and Brazil, and exceeded at the
2006 World Cup match
between Portugal and Netherlands. Captain
Franti?ek Plani?ka
and
Old?ich Nejedly
from Czechoslovakia suffered a broken right arm and right leg respectively in the mayhem. Their teammate
Josef Ko??alek
was injured in the stomach.
The match was drawn 1?1 after 90 minutes of full-time, and a 30-minute extra time had to be played. Nejedly had abandoned the game before the end of regulation time due to his injury, but Plani?ka stayed at the Czechoslovak goal in pain through the rest of the second half and the extra time. Three other Brazilians, including
Leonidas
and
Peracio
, also left the field with injuries.
