Despite losing, the game remains Sweden’s best ever World Cup finish. The 1958 final holds the record for most goals scored in a World Cup Final, and it shares the record for the greatest winning margin (with the 1970 and 1998 tournaments). The records for both the youngest and oldest goalscorer in a World Cup final were set in this match by Pelé (17 years and 249 days) and Nils Liedholm (35 years, 263 days) respectively.https://olympics.com/en/news/fifa-world-cup-final-records-stats-faqs FIFA World Cup final: Records, stats and FAQs 18 December 2022 20 December 2022 Olympics 20 December 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221220210049/https://olympics.com/en/news/fifa-world-cup-final-records-stats-faqs dead The final also marked several firsts: It was the first final to be disputed between a European team and a team from the Americas. Sweden became the first, and so far, only host to lose a World Cup Final (the Maracanazo of 1950 was the decisive match of the tournament, but was not a 'Final', because Sweden v Spain was played simultaneously). Their loss also meant that for the only time a World Cup staged in Europe was not won by a European nation.

Brazil boycotted the draw, thus making Sweden winner, and forcing Brazil to find another color to wear. Initially, Brazil was going to wear white, but this idea was rejected when the players were visibly frightened by the idea, recalling their loss in 1950.Kraba Milile The Story Has Been Told 10 September 2010 Xlibris Corporation 60 9781453566107 https://books.google.com/books?id=gNuoU8qgR_YC&pg=PA60 Eventually the staff went on to buy 22 blue T-shirts and sewed the Brazilian emblem.https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27809268 The story of Brazil's 'sacred' yellow and green jersey 28 June 2014 2 July 2020 BBC News 3 December 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221203122616/https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27809268 live Summary Sweden took the lead after only 4 minutes after an excellent finish by captain Nils Liedholm.
