In the round of 16, the four third-placed teams played against four of the group winners from groups A to D, with the remaining two group winners from group E and F taking on two of the group runners-up; the remaining four runners-up were paired off against each other. The winners of the eight round of 16 matches were then paired together in the quarterfinals, the winners of which played against each other in the semifinals. The ties in each round were played over a single match; in the event that scores were level after 90 minutes, the teams would play an additional 30 minutes of extra time, divided into two 15-minute halves, to determine the winner. If the scores remained level after extra time, the teams would contest a penalty shootout. A match for third place was also held on the day before the final, between the two losing teams of the semifinals.

Since the kick off, Brazil set the pace, controlling ball possession and playing it on United States field. Left-back Leonardo was the main source of attacking, but during the last minute of the first half, after a ball dispute just by sideline, he threw his elbow at Tab Ramos' jaw, breaking it, knocking the North American down and being sent off. Later, Leonardo was handed a four-match suspension, keeping him out of the remainder of the tournament. In the second half, Carlos Alberto Parreira put right-back Cafu on the left-back, benching Zinho. Even with one man down, Brazil kept the pace. In the 72nd minute, Romário recovered the ball in midfield, ran to the American's box and delivered it to Bebeto, who finished the play by shooting just between Tony Meola and the post. The United States were unable to respond, and Brazil held on for the win. 1994 7 4 12:30 p.m. PDT (UTC–7) BRA 1994 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Brazil vs United States 1–0 USA Bebeto 72 Stanford Stadium, Stanford 84,147 Joël Quiniou (France) https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/17/84/338/3090 Brazil vs United States Round of 16 1994 FIFA World Cup USA FIFA May 1, 2026 http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=338/match=3090/index.html 1994 FIFA World Cup USA – Matches – Brazil v USA FIFA May 1, 2026 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20171220153124/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=338/match=3090/index.html December 20, 2017 _bra94h _bra94h _bra94h _brazil1994 FDE910 FDE910 FDE910 0070F9 FFFFFF Brazil _usa94h1 _usa94h1 _usa94h1 _3_stripes_white FFFFFF FFFFFF BE0032 001050 United States GK 1 Cláudio TaffarelRB 2 Jorginho 16CB 13AldairCB 15Márcio Santos LB 16Leonardo 0 43RM 17Mazinho 8CM 5 Mauro SilvaCM 8 Dunga (c)LM 9 Zinho 69 FW 7 Bebeto FW 11Romário Substitutions:LB 14Cafu 69Manager:Carlos Alberto Parreira GK 1 Tony Meola (c)DF 17Marcelo BalboaDF 20Paul Caligiuri 49DF 21Fernando Clavijo 2 64 85DF 22Alexi Lalas MF 5 Thomas Dooley 80MF 7 Hugo Pérez 66MF 9 Tab Ramos 43 45MF 13Cobi JonesMF 16Mike Sorber FW 8 Earnie StewartSubstitutions:FW 11Eric Wynalda 45FW 10Roy Wegerle 66Manager:FR Yugoslavia Bora Milutinović Nigeria vs Italy 1994 7 5 1:00 p.m. EDT (UTC–4) NGA 1994 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Nigeria vs Italy 1–2 yes ITA 1946 Amunike 25 R.
