Assistant referees: Johannes van Moorsel (Netherlands) Paul Marenco (France) The difference in strength between the two teams was evident as the game resulted in a humiliation for the Dutch East Indies, which managed to hold out for just 13 minutes.
Assistant referees: Charles de la Salle (France) Karl Weingärtner (Germany) Austria did not participate due to the Anschluss, so Sweden qualified directly to the quarter-finals.
France doubled their advantage soon after, but the lead was halved before the interval thanks to Hendrik Isemborghs, who connected with a free kick from Bernard Voorhoof.
Assistant referees: Augustin Krist (Czechoslovakia) Alfred Birlem (Germany) Mindful of the game played against Norway at the semi-finals of the 1936 Summer Olympics, when Italy managed to scrap a win only during extra time, Vittorio Pozzo was not to be overconfident.
Italy managed to grab an early lead with Pietro Ferraris, but struggle to threaten Norway's goal further besides hitting the post once.
In fact, Czechoslovakia managed to take the lead only in extra-time through a long-range effort, scoring a further two goals by the end of the game.
Assistant referees: Johannes van Moorsel (Netherlands) Louis Baert (Belgium) The performance of Cuba's replacement goalkeeper Juan Ayra was equally exceptional as the one from Benito Carvajales in the original match.
The result was in doubt for most of the second half, until Gyula Zsengellér sealed the game with a long-range effort in the dying minutes.
Assistant referees: Alois Beranek (Germany)[a] Georges Boutoure (France) The result was never in doubt as Sweden was more accustomed to playing at this level.
Gustav Wetterström netted a hat-trick before half-time, with the Cubans unable to deal with the relentless Swedish forward play, especially after Joaquín Arias was forced to leave the pitch injured.
Assistant referees: Giuseppe Scarpi (Italy) Charles de la Salle (France) Because of the troubling effect of the first game, which saw several players getting injured or sent off, both teams had to make many changes to their line-ups (nine for Brazil and five for Czechoslovakia).
Czechoslovakia took the lead with Vlastimil Kopecký in the 25th minute, but in the second half, stand-in captain Leônidas levelled the score for Brazil.
The European representative continued to attack following that moment, leaving space for the Brazilians to swiftly counter, which debutant Roberto took advantage of to score his nation's second goal.
Sweden, who had impressed in previous games, could not resist the vastly superior opponent, who scored two additional goals in the second half, cruising towards the final after a comfortable win.
