The match was a long awaited one.The Germans has just beaten European Giants France 1 - 0 courtesy of a goal from Matt's Hummels in the 12th minute.Brazil were also in top form after defeating Colombia 2 - 1 enroute to the semi final.

The match was highly anticipated and was always known to be a thrilling one even though the Brazilians gem Neymar suffered an injury that had rendered him incapable of playing in the match.

The match got off to a quick start with Thomas Muller getting the first goal of the game just after 11 minutes totally stunning the Brazilian defense.

Shortly after the Germans added 3 goals in the space of just 3 minutes to put the game put of reach.The first coming from Germany legendary striker Miroslav Klose scoring his 16th world cup goal.

Not long after Sami Khedira added a 5th and with just 29 minutes on the clock the Brazilians were 5 goals down in their home soil, defense shattered ,faces downcast.The run of play went equally to both sides for the rest of the half as the referee blew for half time.
Both teams headed into the tunnel, one side happy ,the pride of the other downtrodden.

After what seemed like forever,the 15 minutes break was over and the players headed back into the pitch.A total of 3 half time substitutions were made.Two for the Brazilians with Ramires coming in for Hulk and Paulinho coming in for Fernandinho.For the Germans,P.Mertersacker came in for Matt's Hummels.

With that,the second half had begun,one side trying to add to their tally and the other trying to reduce their deficit.Both sides had their far share of chances but none had produced a goal yet.With 58 minutes on the clock the German headcoach Joachim Low took off iconic striker Miroslav Klose and replaced him with Andre Schurlle.Not quite long after the Germans took control of the match and their persistence was laster rewarded in the 69th minute with a goal by Andre Schurlle.It was 6 - 0.Demoralizing.The Brazilians were devastated.

Brazilian head coach Felipe Scolari responded to the goal by taking off their striker Fred and replacing him with Willian.In the 76th minute ,the Germans made another change , swapping Sami Khedira for Julian Draxler.

Barely 3 minutes after the change, Germany scored their 7th goal of the match and Andre Schurlle got his second of the game.There were no words.It was like a dream, Germany 7 Brazil nil.
