Last update 8 May, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Spain and Brazil are two world powers at the football level, especially for the historical quality of the players of both sides. But, ¿How many times have Spain and Brazil faced each other? in a soccer game? Let's review the match history between Spain and Brazil.

All matches between Brazil and Spain

Along the history, Spaniards and Brazilians have met on nine occasions with a clear balance for the South Americans. With five Brazilian victories, two draws and two Spanish victories. We review with Betwinner bro, the six official matches in which they have seen each other:

1- Spain 3-Brazil 1: Italy round of 16 34. It was the first confrontation in the round of the 16 best. The Brazil of Leónidas succumbed in the Luigi Ferraris of Genoa to the Spain of Zamora, Quincoces and Lángara, the man who scored a providential double to eliminate the resistance of the South Americans. That day, the best Spanish goalkeeper in history saved a penalty.

2- Brazil 6- Spain 1: World Cup semi-finals 50. The home run that served to decide the World Cup champion in Brazil led to 16 years later, Spain met Brazil in Maracanã. Atom, Puchadas, Ramallets or Basora succumbed to the powerful forward formed by Adamir or Chico, authors of two goals each. It was a full-blown review, that unfortunately did not serve for any, because the World Cup would be won by Uruguay.

3- Brazil 2- Spain 1: World group stage 62: Di Stefano was not there, who fell injured, but Spain brought a real UN to the Chilean World Cup with players of multiple nationalities such as Puskas or Santamaría. Luis Suarez, Gento formed a fearsome team, but Brazil was still better. Amarildo, Skin (who was also injured), Djalma Santos, Didi, Zagallo the Garrincha. Adelardo overtook the Spanish, Amarildo turned a game around where there were several controversial plays.

4- Spain 0- Brazil 0: World group stage 78. The weakest match that is remembered between both teams and the meeting that went down in history. Because? Because a certain Cardeñosa failed the inexplicable. Only within the Brazilian area did it occur to him to shoot without a goalkeeper at the leg of a Brazilian defender who was on the goal line defending the indefensible. Cardeñosa's goal that never was.

5- Brazil 1- Spain 0: World group stage 86. Jalisco opened the championship for both teams with a clash decided by the great Socrates in the second half. However, that's what the history books say. Memory points to something else: that Michel scored a phantom goal that bounced half a meter into the South American goal.

6-Brazil 3- Spain 0. It was in the Confederations Cup 2013 when the last match between Spaniards and Brazilians was played. It was played at the Maracaná stadium, one year before the World Cup in Brazil 2014. And the five-time world champions were far superior to a Spain that had just been in those last 5 years, 2 times European champion and current world champion at that time. The match ended with 3 a 0 con 2 goals from Fred and 1 by Neymar. What crowned the Brazilians as champions of that tournament and consequently, they suffered the curse of the Confederations Cup in his own world cup.

For lovers of statistics, the last friendly match between both teams was played in 1999 with tie 0 in Vigo, and the last victory that Spain got against Brazil was the 12 September 1990 (3-0) .
