Brazilians once again shed tears at home when Mineirao became the "second Maracana", marking the historic 1-7 defeat of the yellow team against the German tank...

| Germany has won a ticket to the final match on July 14. |
Virtue:Mueller (11'), Klose (23'), Kroos (24', 26'), Khedira (29'), Schurrle (69', 79').
Brazil: Oscar (90')
Without captain Thiago Silva, without the spirit of Neymar, Brazil still entered the match with determination. Right after the opening whistle, the yellow-shirted players rushed into the German field and pressed the visitors. But Brazil reminded people of a candle in the wind, flaring up for a moment and then going out.
After a few minutes of excitement, Brazil suddenly became a mediocre team in front of the Germans' mettle. In a losing game, Germany knew how to take advantage of set pieces to score points. In the 11th minute, from a corner kick, Kroos passed the ball to Mueller's position so that the best scorer of the Tank could comfortably tap the ball in to open the score.
The early goal caused all the morale of the Brazilian players to disappear. Instead, there was utter confusion. The yellow walls that the Brazilian fans created at the Mineirao stadium also became a huge pressure on the home team.

But Brazil's nightmare did not stop there. In the 29th minute, another seemingly empty-handed combination from Germany, this time Oezil passed the ball to Khedira who gently tapped the ball to raise the score to 5-0. Losing 5 goals after less than 1/3 of the match, Brazil collapsed in a way that no one expected.
