 | | Gustav Sebes, the deputy sports minister, who presided over the squad, decided that Palotai, in the deep centre-forward role, had done so well in the Olympics that he would keep him there. |
 | | As Sebes recalled, "He seemed to complement that partnership between Puskas and Kocsis perfectly, and beautiful passes began to flow between the three of them. |
 | | "I played Hidegkuti," remembered Sebes, "even though he was only half fit, because I needed his fine technique and tactical guile to penetrate the world's toughest defence." Hidegkuti played, and scored, in the first half, after which Palotai took his place. |
