² The game was abandoned in the 67th minute, with a 1-0 score for Brazil, after Chile left the field. A fireworks had been thrown at the Chilean goalkeeper Roberto Rojas and had allegedly hit him on the head. The goalkeeper was then carried off the pitch with head injuries. FIFA later found out that Rojas had inflicted the head injuries on himself with a razor blade. The game was rated 2-0 for Brazil. Rojas, Chilean coach Orlando Aravena and Chilean team doctor Daniel Rodriguez were banned for life. Chile was not allowed to participate in qualifying for the 1994 World Cup.

Under coach Lazaroni, Brazil had adopted a very defensive tactic. The result in group C were three narrow wins for the ex-world champion, which meant group victory, but left the audience disappointed due to the poor performance. Costa Rica's performance was sensational, knocking out the Scots and Swedes 1-0 and 2-1 and leaving them behind. The Scots could at least record a 2-1 win against the Scandinavians, but also had to travel home.

Many saw an anticipated final in the match between Brazil and Argentina. The Sugar Loaf kickers dominated the rivals from South America for long stretches of the season, but apart from a few aluminum hits, nothing jumped out of the attack efforts. An inimitable solo by Diego Maradona decided the argument ten minutes before the final whistle. Caniggia received his submission after the slalom race, and he did not miss the chance to win 1-0.
