Qualified teams
The top two placed teams from each of the four groups qualified for the knockout stage.
Eleven minutes into the game Leonel Sánchez opened the score with a free kick from wide on the right that surprised Lev Yashin at the near post. Igor Chislenko equalized for the Soviet Union after picking up a deflected shot by Viktor Ponedelnik but almost immediately Eladio Rojas scored with an excellent low shot from distance. Chile managed to hold on to the result.
In the first half a through-ball from Masopust cut out the Hungarian defense for Scherer to score. After that Schrojf made several saves to deny a Hungarian goal. Tichy once hit the bar but couldn't score.
Garrincha opened the score at the half hour when he headed in a corner by Mário Zagallo. England equalized when Jimmy Greaves hit the bar with a looping header and Gerry Hitchens banged in an instant shot. Soon after halftime Brazil regained advantage after Vavá headed in a free kick from Garrincha and six minutes later the Brazilian right winger made it 3–1 with a curling shot into the top corner.

Yugoslavia vs West Germany
The first clear opportunity was for the Germans when Seeler hit the post with a low shot after running onto Haller's pass. Yugoslavia were also close to score but Schnellinger cleared the ball off the line following a corner. The only goal of the game came near the end when Galić pulled the ball back after working his way to the goal line and Radaković lashed it high into the net.
