Brazil - Germany 1: 7 shock and disbelief at the 2014 World Cup 

The football game played on July 8, 2014 at Estádio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) was the first semi-final match of the 2014 World Cup.
Both the national teams of Brazil and Germany reached the semi-finals without losing a match in the tournament before. Neymar (due to injury) and Thiago Silva (due to suspension for cards) could not appear in the game for Brazil. Despite this, the media expected an even match due to the rich traditions of both teams in the World Cup (eight titles in total). Previously in the world championship, the teams met in 2002 in the final, in which Brazil won 2-0 to claim their fifth title. In the match in 2014, however, the Brazilian national team lost to Germany, who scored four goals in six minutes, led 5-0 in the first half, and the whole game won 7-1. Toni Kroos was chosen as the football player of the match.
This result was the highest victory in the World Cup semi-final in history. Germany became the first team to play in eight championship finals. Miroslav Klose scored the sixteenth goal in the world championship, breaking Ronaldo's record. Brazil's defeat was the first at home in a tournament game in 62 games, that is since Copa América 1975 (1-3 against Peru) and the highest ever, equalizing a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in the 1920 South American Championship.
In the media, the game was dubbed Mineirazo (Mineiraço in Brazil), in reference to Maracanazo (Maracanaço) - the final of the 1950 World Cup, in which Brazil unexpectedly lost to Uruguay at home. Brazil lost to the Netherlands in the third place match, while Germany won their fourth league title after beating Argentina in the final.
