A plaque remains as a witness, hence its name, in the stadium, which after the date says: "Pelé scored

of the Maracana", and 60 years later no one disputes it.

The chronicler of the newspaper

wrote the following day: "Some of the most exalted affirmed that

. In fact, it was so spectacular that it drew applause from the entire public. The Fluminense fans left their passion aside because of the colors and, hoisting their flags, they provided a scene never seen in the Maracana.

I looked at the stands and made a 'wait a minute' gesture. I received a ball from the right, I think it was crossed by Dorval, and I hit three hats in a row, over three different opponents. And I finished off with a header. The boos turned into applause."

The chronicles collect that Pelé, before the goal, had sent a free kick to the clouds on the edge of the area, and the stands began to rebuke him.

And the testimonies collected speak of a Pelé who made gestures to the stands with his right hand, like, "well now you'll see."

Dorval ran the band and gave him the pass.

Julinho, who was in charge of marking him in that game, ate the first hat.

Clovis and Homer are next.

Pelé makes the hats with a single touch and without letting the ball bounce.

The last one is for the goalkeeper, who was called

They say that the Juventus fans chanted the name of that 18-year-old footballer for ten minutes.
