The fourth goal
Twenty-six passes, one captain, and the goal that defined a team.
The move ran the length of the pitch and through half the team before Pelé, without looking, rolled the ball into the path of his onrushing captain. Carlos Alberto struck it first time. 4–1. Football, signed.
Why it happened

What came before

What came after
A single passage of play replayed for over fifty years.
Where it echoed
Carlos Alberto · Pelé · the 1970 final · the idea of the beautiful game.
