Note:

1- In another source, Edmundo replacing of Rai is not shown, and Palhinha is shown replacing Rai and not Bebeto. Furthermore, Edmundo could not have replaced Rai, because when Edmundo assisted on Paulo Sergio’s goal, Rai was on the field, see video of goals.

2-Some sources show Rai to have scored the second goal, but that is clearly an error per video evidence.
