>Brazil 1 Czechoslovakia 1 (after extra time)
Parc Lescure, Bordeaux (22,021)
12 June 1938
Faced with strong opposition, Brazil decided to turn this match into a kicking contest, which became infamous as the "Battle of Bordeaux." Zeze Procopia was sent off in the 14th minute for lunging at Nejedlý, who was taken to hospital with a broken leg, an injury that ended his international career. The match ended with an all-out brawl resulting in a Brazilian defender and a Czech forward being sent off. Czechoslovakia's goalkeeper, played through extra-time with a broken arm.
>Brazil 2 Czechoslovakia 1
Parc Lescure, Bordeaux (18,141)
14 June 1938
Following the violence of the first encounter between the sides, fifteen enforced changes were made to the teams while Czechoslovakia were without their finest players. The result was a foregone conclusion.
