RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil were winning 3-1 and the 1970 World Cup final against Italy was over as a contest when Carlos Alberto looked up to see the whole of the right wing open to him and started to motor.

There were four minutes left on the clock at the Aztec stadium and Brazil's captain really just wanted the game to end.
