The group consisted of Brazil, Austria, Spain and Sweden.
In their first world cup since 1958, Austrian players retrieved a part of their past glory.
Finally, Brazilians clinched the second place to reach the second round where they had to play against the Argentinians hosts and Peruvians in a "Latin American coloured group".
This match is remembered for Zico's disallowed goal during injury time of the second half.
Welsh referee Clive Thomas whistled for full time while the ball was in the air after a corner kick, fractions of second before Zico's header.
