Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll!!!!! On July 30, 1930, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 to win the first World Cup Final at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. 93,000 spectators crammed the stadium, but thousands of Argentinian fans who were attempting to reach the city by boat were stranded due to the volume of craft attempting to enter the port.
