Notes

  1. ↑ Santamaría, who represented Uruguay from 1952 to 1957, later switched to representing Spain internationally. However, his first cap for Spain would not come until October 1958, five months after this match was played.[2]
  2. ↑ Di Stéfano, a native Argentine, had represented both Argentina and Colombia earlier in his international career. However, he became a naturalised citizen of Spain in 1956, and began playing for Spain in 1957.[2][3]
  3. ↑ Though more famous as a Uruguay international, Schiaffino was capped by Italy on four occasions, starting in 1954 (after the that year's FIFA World Cup) and going until 1958.[4]
