The 1994 FIFA World Cup final was replayed in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza on Thursday.

Stars of Brazil and Italy - who met 26 years ago in Pasadena, USA - again took to the field.

And the original managers Carlos Alberto Parreira and Arrigo Sacchi, were also in attendance.

In 1994, Brazil won soccer's showpiece event following a dramatic penalty shootout.

After the match itself finished 0-0, Brazil won the shoot-out 3-2.

Marcio Santos was the only Brazilian to miss with his penalty - while Franco Baresi, Roberto Baggio and Daniele Massaro failed to convert for Italy, Baggio famously blazing his kick over the crossbar to lose the match.
