2 unusual facts about Obdulio Varela


Obdulio Varela

Uruguay scored with a goal of Schiaffino and then, 9 minutes before the finish, with a very nervous Brazil team, Alcides Ghiggia scored the 2-1 for Uruguay, winning the world cup.

5 minutes in the second half, Brazil scored, and Varela took scene, when he intentionally walked slowly to his goal, picked up the ball and then argue with the English referee George Reader about an innexistent offside, with the intention of delaying the restart of the game so the crowd cooled off.
