(Brazil Squad)

-The next match between the nations, as well as the next in Budapest and the last to date, would be a friendly on April 28, 2004 won 4-1 by Brazil.

-Hungary’s previous victory over Brazil was on July 15, 1966 when they defetaed Brazil 3-1 during the World Cup in Liverpool, England.

-This was Brazil’s first match on Hungarian soil. All previous matches had been in Brazil or Neutral (1954 and 1966 World Cup matches).

-Brazil played West Germany four days before on March 12 as their first match of the European Tour and lost 0-2 in Frankfurt.

-Tele Santana had been opposed to this European tour during the cold European winter and had vetoed it. However, such was the outcry by the West Germans and the threat of $175,000 fine that Brazil had no choice but to participate.

Santana was successful in canceling the match vs. Wales that had also been one of the original opponents on this tour.

-There was such hype for Brazil’s visit that Hungarian Federation had received 300,000 demands for tickets.

-This was Brazil’s heaviest defeat since losing to Belgium 1-5 on April 24, 1963.

Their next worst defeat would be on July 3, 1987 vs. Chile (0-4 loss) during Copa America.

-The last time Brazil had conceded three goals was on June 22, 1983 vs. Sweden (3-3 tie).

-France manager Henri Michel and Spain manager Miguel Munoz watched the match from the stands.

-Brazil’s unused substitute Eder, one of the stars of 1982 World Cup, would be sent off, in a friendly vs. Peru in April, for hitting an opponent.

He was excluded from Brazil’s World Cup squad.

-Tele Santana became the second Brazil manager to manage in two consecutive World Cups (1982,1986). Mario Zagallo led Brazil in 1970 and 1974.

-Hungarian star Tibor Nylasi missed this match through injury.

-Hungary’s Antal Roth missed this match through injury. Kardos took his spot in the lineup.

-Brazil’s Zico and Leandro missed this tour through injury.

-Brazil captain Socrates missed this match through injury. Some claimed it was a diplomatic injury, as there may have been words exchanged between him and Santana that led to his exclusion.

-Brazil’s Luis Muller who played vs. West Germany four days before, did not start this match. Renato took his place. Muller did however come on as a substitute.

-This was Elzo and Silas’ first caps for Brazil. Dida, Sidney and Muller had earned their first caps just four days prior vs. West Germany.

-Brazil’s Roberto Paulo Falcao who played vs. West Germany four days before was overlooked for this match; Elzo took his place.

-Brazil’s Walter Casagrande who played vs. West Germany four days before as a midfielder played as a striker for this match. Taking Careca’s place from the West Germany match. Careca was overlooked for this match.

-This was one of the worst displays by a Brazilian national team, who were not match fit and clearly unaccustomed to the cold, as well as missing many experienced players.

-This was the last Hungarian team that has qualified for the finals of a major tournament. The loss vs. USSR (0-6) during the World Cup that year started their two decades long decline.

They had qualified impressively from a group containing Austria and Holland and played well in the friendlies prior to the tournament. Much was expected of them but they performed horribly in the World Cup by losing heavily to USSR and France.

-Gyorgy Mezzey who had been appointed Hungary manager in 1983, resigned after the World Cup Finals later in the year. He subsequently managed Hungary again for a few matches in 1988.

-Both Emerson Leão (2000-01) and Falcao (1990-91) managed Brazil.
