In the final of the 1958 edition, Pele set one more record which stands true even today. During the final against host nation Sweden, Pele scored a brace of which the first one is considered as one of the greatest goals in the history of the FIFA World Cup.
His two goals in the final was when he was just 17 years and 249 days old. These goals also took his tally for the tournament to six, which put him joint second behind Just Fontaine.
