1970 FIFA World Cup Group 1

Football tournament group stage May 2018 Group 1 of the 1970 FIFA World Cup was contested in Mexico City's Estadio Azteca between 31 May and 11 June 1970. The Soviet Union and Mexico finished level on both points and goal difference, meaning a drawing of lots was required under the tournament rules to determine the placings of the teams. The Soviet Union was drawn out and therefore were ranked as group winner, with Mexico ranked in second place. Belgium and El Salvador both failed to advance.https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/1970mexico 1970 FIFA World Cup Mexico fifa.com 6 March 2016https://www.rsssf.org/tables/70full.html World Cup 1970 10 August 2014 live RSSSF https://web.archive.org/web/20160701154217/http://www.rsssf.com/tables/70full.html 1 July 2016 Standings main WDL Standings 180 complete 2 FIFA URS MEX BEL SLV A A 2 1 0 6 1 2 1 0 5 0 1 0 2 4 5 0 0 3 0 9 SLV BEL MEX URS 1955 Q green1 Advance to knockout stage Having finished level on both points and goal difference, the Soviet Union and Mexico were separated by the drawing of lots.
