After being victorious in a third South American Championship in 1949 Brazil first achieved international prominence when it hosted the 1950 World Cup. The team went into the last game of the final round, against Uruguay at the Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, needing only a draw to win the World Cup. Prior to the match, Brazilian newspaper "O Mundo" prematurely declared Brazil "the world champions". In one of the biggest upsets in football history, however, Uruguay scored with only 11 minutes remaining to win the match, and the Cup, in a game infamously known as "the Maracanzo". The match led to a period of national mourning, with Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues later saying, "Everywhere has its irremediable national catastrophe, something like a Hiroshima. Our catastrophe, our Hiroshima, was the defeat by Uruguay in 1950."
