Brazil won its fourth World Cup after defeating Italy in the final match of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on July 17 in front of more than 94,000 spectators. Neither team managed to score in regulation or extra time, the first such instance in a World Cup final. During the subsequent penalty shoot-out, MΓ‘rcio Santos of Brazil and Franco Baresi and Daniele Massaro of Italy all failed to score, leaving Italy 3–2 down. Attacking midfielder Roberto Baggio, until then the star of the tournament for Italy, also missed his kick, handing Brazil the win.

Earlier, during the group phase, Brazil topped Group B with two wins and a draw. The team won all its knockout matches outright in regulation time, beating the United States 1–0 in the round of 16, the Netherlands 3–2 in the quarterfinals, and Sweden 1–0 in the semifinals.
