Brazil v Germany Scene inside Estádio Mineirão, twenty minutes before the start of the match Event 2014 FIFA World Cup Semi-final Brazil Germany 7 Date 8 July 2014 Venue Estádio Mineirão, Belo Horizonte, Brazil Man of the Match Toni Kroos ( Germany ) Referee Marco Rodríguez ( Mexico ) Attendance 58,141 Weather Clear night 22 ° C ( 71 ° F ) 51 % humidity The Brazil versus Germany ( German : Fußball - WM - Halbfinale Brasilien -- Deutschland 2014 ; Portuguese : Semifinal da Copa do Mundo de 2014 -- Brasil vs. Alemanha ) football match that took place on 8 July 2014 at the Estádio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, was the first of two semi-final matches of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Both Brazil and Germany reached the semi-finals with an undefeated record in the competition, with the Brazilians ' quarter - final with Colombia causing them to lose striker Neymar to injury, and defender and captain Thiago Silva to accumulation of yellow cards. Despite the absences, a close match was expected, given both teams were traditional FIFA World Cup forces, sharing eight tournaments won and having previously met in the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final, where Brazil won 2 -- 0 and earned their fifth title. This match, however, ended in a shocking loss for Brazil ; Germany led 5 -- 0 at half time, with four goals scored within six minutes, and subsequently brought the score up to 7 -- 0 in the second half. Brazil scored a consolation goal in the last minute, ending the match 7 -- 1. Germany 's Toni Kroos was selected as the man of the match. The game marked several tournament records. Germany 's win marked the largest margin of victory in a FIFA World Cup semi-final. The game saw Germany overtake Brazil as the highest scoring team in World Cup tournament history and become the first team to reach eight World Cup Finals. Miroslav Klose scored his 16th career World Cup goal and surpassed Brazil 's own Ronaldo as the tournament 's all - time record goalscorer. Brazil 's loss broke their 62 - match home unbeaten streak in competitive matches going back to Copa America 1975 ( over Peru 1 -- 3 ), equalled their biggest ever margin of defeat in a match alongside a 6 -- 0 loss to Uruguay in 1920, and broke the record for the most goals ever conceded by Brazil in an international match. Ultimately, the match was described as a national humiliation. The game has subsequently been dubbed the Mineirazo ( Mineiraço ( minejˈɾasu ) ), evoking a previous `` spirit of national shame '' known as the Maracanazo ( Maracanaço ) in which Brazil unexpectedly lost the 1950 FIFA World Cup on home soil to Uruguay. Brazil subsequently lost the third place playoff to the Netherlands, and Germany went on to win the World Cup for the fourth time after defeating Argentina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final.

Brazil was hosting the FIFA World Cup for the second time ( after 1950 ), and had won the tournament on five previous occasions. Germany was a three - time winner but had not won the tournament in 24 years. Brazil was in the semi-finals for the first time since 2002, from which they emerged victorious and subsequently won the tournament against Germany ; while Germany was in a record - breaking fourth consecutive semi-final. Both teams had entered the tournament among the favourites to win, with Germany ranked 2nd and Brazil ranked 3rd in the FIFA World Rankings. It was only the second official match between the two sides. Germany 's Manuel Neuer practicing prior to the particular match on 7 July 2014. Brazil 's route to the semi-final included a group stage with Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon in Group A, from which they advanced with seven points before beating Chile in the Round of 16 in a penalty shoot - out, and Colombia in the quarter - finals. Germany had been drawn with Portugal, Ghana and the United States in Group G, and advanced with seven points before beating Algeria in the Round of 16 ( after extra time ) and France in the quarter - finals. The two teams had met in 21 previous matches, but their only previous encounter in the single - elimination round of the World Cup was the final of the 2002 FIFA World Cup that was a 2 - 0 victory for Brazil, which was Luiz Felipe Scolari 's first tenure as manager of Brazil while Miroslav Klose was in Germany 's starting lineup. Brazil defender and captain Thiago Silva was suspended for the match due to accumulation of yellow cards, despite an appeal against the suspension by the Brazilian Football Confederation. Forward Neymar was also unavailable for the match, having been sidelined for the rest of the tournament after suffering a fractured vertebra in the quarter - final match against Colombia. Dante and Bernard, making their first starts of the tournament, replaced Thiago Silva and Neymar respectively with Luiz Gustavo replacing Paulinho in defensive midfield. Germany were unchanged from their quarter - final. Goalkeeper Júlio César and stand - in captain David Luiz paid tribute to Neymar by holding his shirt during the national anthem ceremony. Even with the absences, analysts expected a close match, feeling the home crowd could provide an advantage. Match Both teams had reached the semi-finals undefeated in their previous matches of the tournament. The officiating was led by Mexican referee Marco Antonio Rodríguez, in what proved to be the final match of his career. First half Brazil 's captain David Luiz ( back centre ) led a defence that was incapable of stopping the Germans from scoring four goals in six minutes, starting with Miroslav Klose 's ( left ) strike in the 23rd minute. Both teams started with attacking play, with Brazilian Marcelo 's shot going wide in the third minute and German Sami Khedira 's shot in the seventh minute being inadvertently blocked by his teammate Toni Kroos. In the 11th minute, the Germans scored from their first corner of the game. Thomas Müller escaped his marker, David Luiz, in the penalty box, and Toni Kroos 's delivery found him wide open for a side - footed shot into the net. In the following minutes Brazil tried to respond but their attacks came to nothing, although Philipp Lahm needed to deliver a brilliant tackle to keep Marcelo from setting up a chance in the penalty box. Instead, in the 23rd minute, Germany scored again after Kroos and Müller combined to set up Miroslav Klose, who scored on the rebound after his initial shot was saved by goalkeeper Júlio César. It was Klose 's 16th goal at a World Cup, passing the Brazilian Ronaldo as the all - time World Cup top scorer. Klose 's goal initiated a flurry of German scoring as Brazil lost control of the game. In the 24th minute, Kroos scored with a left - footed strike from the edge of the area after Lahm 's cross was deflected. Then, in the 26th minute, just a few seconds after Brazil kicked off, Kroos caught Fernandinho in possession in his own half and played a one - two with Khedira before scoring again. Kroos ' goals came just 70 seconds apart. Khedira himself scored in the 29th minute after exchanging passes with Mesut Özil. All five of Germany 's first half goals came within the first half - hour, with four of them coming in one six - minute period. Brazil had no shots on target in the first half. Many Brazil supporters in the crowd were visibly in shock or reduced to tears. The resulting fights in the Mineirão stands forced the Military Police to send a special forces squad into the stadium. Second half Brazil 's forward Fred is challenged by Germany 's defender Jérôme Boateng. Fred was heavily criticized for his performance and was booed by Brazilian fans when he was substituted. Brazil 's substitution of Paulinho for Fernandinho and Ramires for Hulk resulted in an improvement in their play after the restart ; Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer saved shots in quick succession from Oscar, Paulinho and Fred. By the 60th minute, though, the Germans came close to scoring again, with Júlio César denying Müller twice. Another German goal indeed came in the 69th minute -- Lahm 's low cross found substitute André Schürrle, who side - footed the ball into the net from close range. 10 minutes later, Schürrle ran onto Müller 's cross from the left and hit a powerful shot over Júlio César at the near post. At this point with the score at 7 -- 0, the remaining home fans gave the Germans a standing ovation, applauding both Schürrle 's goal and Germany 's overall performance. Close to the end, Özil received a through ball but just missed the chance to make it eight. Seconds later, Oscar received a long ball and scored in the 90th minute to make it 7 -- 1. The final score matched Brazil 's worst ever loss ( 6 -- 0 to Uruguay in 1920 ) and ended a run of 62 competitive home matches unbeaten for Brazil. The Brazilian players left the pitch in tears to a chorus of boos. Toni Kroos was selected Man of the Match, with three shots, two goals, 93 % pass accuracy, one assist and two chances created. Brazilian striker Fred, who was replaced by Willian in the 70th minute, received a particularly hostile reaction from the home fans. According to Opta Sports, Fred failed to make a single tackle, cross, run or interception during the match, and actually spent the majority of his time in possession of the ball on the centre spot due to six restarts.

The outcome was also the worst loss by a host country in World Cup history, as the six - goal difference doubled the previous record margin. By the end of the game, a total of 167 goals had been scored at the 2014 World Cup, the 2nd-most at a single World Cup, after 1998 with 171 goals. With 18 total shots on target, the match had the joint-most shots on target of any match in 90 minutes at the 2014 World Cup. The match also had the fastest four goals scored in World Cup history, with Germany scoring in the span of six minutes ( from 23 ' to 29 ' ) ; in 1954, Austria took seven minutes ( 25 ' to 32 ' ) and in 1982, Hungary also took seven minutes ( 69 ' to 76 ' ) to score four goals. Germany equalled the record for most goals scored against the host nation of the World Cup, with Austria defeating Switzerland 7 -- 5 in the 1954 World Cup. Germany also overtook Brazil to become the all - time highest - scoring team in FIFA World Cup history, their total of 223 at full - time passing Brazil 's 221. Before the match Brazil and Germany were even with seven World Cup finals each, the German victory made them the only squad to reach 8 finals. For Brazil, the result became one of their two worst losses, equalling a 6 -- 0 defeat to Uruguay in 1920, and was their worst - ever defeat at home ; their previous worst defeat at home was a 5 -- 1 defeat by Argentina in Rio de Janeiro in 1939. The loss broke Brazil 's 62 - match home unbeaten streak in competitive matches, dating back to their 1 -- 3 loss to Peru in the 1975 Copa América ; this match was also played at Estádio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte. The last time Brazil had lost a World Cup semi-final was in 1938, in a dramatic game against Italy in Marseille, and had emerged victorious from this stage the previous six times they had reached it, since the loss in 1974 against Netherlands was not formally a semi-final. Brazil had never before conceded seven goals at home, although they once conceded eight goals in a 4 -- 8 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia on 3 June 1934 ; the last time they conceded at least five was in a 6 -- 5 win in the 1938 World Cup versus Poland ; at least four was in a 2 -- 4 defeat at the 1954 World Cup against Hungary. Brazil 's previous largest losing deficit at the World Cup prior to the match was three goals, which came in the 0 -- 3 defeat to France in the 1998 final. The game 's outcome also marked Brazil 's worst result against Germany, passing a 0 -- 2 defeat in a 1986 friendly. Germany celebrate after striker Miroslav Klose ( centre, number 11 ) scored a record 16th World Cup goal, putting his team 0 -- 2 up against Brazil. For Germany, the final result meant that, for the fourth straight time, they were positioned among the tournament 's top 3 teams ; moreover, the victory allowed the Germans to become the first side to reach eight World Cup finals. The match was a record 12th time a German team played in a semi-final. Germany became the first team to score 7 goals in a World Cup semi-final. The last time a team scored six goals was West Germany in 1954 versus Austria, same as in both semi-finals in 1930. It was Germany 's highest half - time lead in a World Cup match, with their previous best being 4 -- 0 against Saudi Arabia in 2002, the match finished 8 -- 0 which is Germany 's biggest World Cup victory. Only two teams have previously trailed by at least five goals at half - time : Zaire ( versus Yugoslavia in 1974 ) and Haiti ( versus Poland in 1974 ). The seven goals scored by Germany reflected a better goal - scoring record in the World Cup Finals than that of 28 other nations in their respective history of the World Cup. Germany 's Miroslav Klose equalled the Brazilian Cafu as the player with most matches being on the winning side at the World Cup, with 16 victories. Klose played his 23rd World Cup match, equalling Paolo Maldini on 2nd place on most World Cup matches, with only Lothar Matthäus remaining with more ( 25 ). Klose has played in more knockout games than Matthäus or Cafu -- 13, and also became the only player to take part in four World Cup semi-finals ( Uwe Seeler previously played in three semi-finals ). In the match, he broke the record for the most goals scored at the World Cup with 16, overtaking Brazil 's Ronaldo 's total of 15 ; Ronaldo was in attendance at the match as a commentator. Thomas Müller 's goal was Germany 's 2,000 th in the history of their national team. Müller became the third player in history to score five or more goals in two different World Cups ( after Klose and the Peruvian Teófilo Cubillas ) and the second player to score five or more goals in consecutive World Cups ( after Klose ). Toni Kroos ' first - half double scored in 69 seconds was the fastest pair of goals scored in World Cup history by the same player. Reactions Professional Man of the Match Toni Kroos. Kroos scored two goals in 69 seconds, making it the fastest brace in the history of the FIFA World Cup. He would later express feeling sorry for the defeated adversary, who he considered `` not in their best performance ''. According to reports, after Germany had scored their seventh goal, Neymar, who was watching the match on television, switched off his set and went to play poker. Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari said the result was the `` worst loss by a Brazilian national team ever '' and accepted all responsibility for the defeat. He called it `` the worst day of my life '', and resigned after the tournament. Stand - in captain David Luiz and goalkeeper Júlio César both offered apologies to the people of Brazil. Fred, who was booed by Brazilian fans during the match, said it was the worst defeat in his and his teammates ' careers. He later announced his retirement from international football following the tournament. Recovering from his injury, Neymar expressed his support to his teammates and, despite the 7 -- 1 score, said he was proud to be a part of the team. During the match, the German team seemed to realise that what was unfolding was not a normal football event. In a post-match statement, Mats Hummels said that the German team had decided that they did not want to humiliate the Brazilians during the second half and after the match : We just made it clear that we had to stay focused and not try to humiliate them. We said we had to stay serious and concentrate at half - time. That 's something you do n't have to show on the pitch if you are playing. You have to show the opponent respect and it was very important that we did this and did n't try to show some magic or something like this. It was important we played our game for 90 minutes. Accordingly, the Germans cut theatrics from their goal celebrations ; arms were raised but there was no jumping or screaming after scoring. Coach Joachim Löw stated his team had `` a clear, persistent game - plan '', and as they realised Brazil were `` cracking up '', they took advantage as in contrast to the Brazilians ' nervousness the German players were `` extremely cool ''. Toni Kroos, who was chosen as Man of the Match, added that as the Germans felt that in `` no game of the Cup, ( the Brazilians ) played their best '', the squad entered with the tactical knowledge on how to counter Brazil : `` we took all the balls, and scored the goals ''. Müller said he was `` shocked by just how open Brazil were '' as `` Gustavo, Luiz, Dante, Fernandinho and Marcelo were shambolic in their positioning '', being confused and disorganized, noting that his German teammates benefited overwhelmingly as `` the spaces were bigger than against defence - minded teams ''. Löw also declared the team had `` no euphoria '' during or after the game, as they knew that the 7 -- 1 win meant nothing for the upcoming final, saying `` We did n't celebrate. We were happy, but we still have a job to do ''. Following the match, the German players and managers offered words of consolation to the Brazilians. Löw and players Per Mertesacker and Philipp Lahm even compared the pressure on the Brazilian team and resulting heartbreaking defeat with Germany 's own when they hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup and also lost in the semifinals. Lahm added in an interview after the tournament that he had felt `` very uneasy '' during the match and `` not at all euphoric '' since the Brazilian team had made mistakes that `` do n't usually happen at this level '', and Mertesacker noted that despite featuring the Germans at the top of their game, `` even from the bench, ( the semifinal ) was crazy to watch ''. Kroos stated that, despite Brazil having good players, `` they could n't show their best performance '' due to all the outside pressure, and expressed faith in `` them returning with a good squad ''. Löw observed in the immediate aftermath of the match that the Brazilian people were applauding his team. Later the Brazilian newspaper O Globo expressed appreciation for the gestures of the German players, calling them `` world champions of sympathy ''. Brazilian footballing icon Pelé tweeted, `` I always said that football is a box of surprises. Nobody in this world expected this result, '' followed by, `` ( Brazil ) Will try to get the sixth title in Russia. Congratulations to Germany. '' Carlos Alberto Torres, the captain of Brazil 's winning team in 1970, said that the country lost due to a `` feeling of ' we 've already won ' ''. He added that `` Germany played how I like to see and Scolari 's tactics for this match were suicidal ''. Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella struggled to explain Brazil 's loss, saying `` Football is illogical ''. In contrast, Argentinian icon Diego Maradona was seen singing a song mocking the Brazilian defeat. Society In Germany, the match 's coverage by ZDF set a record for the country 's most watched TV broadcast ever, with 32.57 million viewers ( 87.8 % of all viewers ), beating the Germany -- Spain match at the 2010 World Cup. This record was beaten five days later with the final. In contrast, despite a weekly spike in audience, the broadcast by Brazilian Rede Globo saw the viewers total fall with each German goal. Brazil 's defeat was lamented by the nation 's President, Dilma Rousseff. The match was the most discussed sports game ever on Twitter with over 35.6 million tweets, surpassing Super Bowl XLVIII, with 24.9 million tweets during the game. At first incentive hashtags such as `` # PrayForBrazil '' were common, but once Germany built a 5 -- 0 lead Brazilian users instead lent their frustration into self - deprecatory humor, comparing Germany 's goals with the Volkswagen Gol car and stating the Brazilian team looked like `` 11 Freds ''. Other Twitter users compared Germany 's dominating performance to their military efforts during World War II and The Holocaust, for example, dubbing it the `` Goalocaust ''. Bung Moktar Radin, a member of parliament of Malaysia, came under heavy criticism from the Malaysian public and the German ambassador, Holger Michael, for posting such a comment. The President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, stated on Twitter following the match that `` like all Brazilians, I am deeply saddened by our loss ''. The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yigal Palmor, mentioned the match when countering Brazil 's claim that his country was using disproportionate force in the Gaza conflict, saying `` This is not football. In football, when a game ends in a draw, you think it is proportional, but when it finishes 7 -- 1 it 's disproportionate ''. Due to the pressure on the home nation Brazil to win the World Cup and the subsequent shock of the loss, the media and FIFA dubbed the game the Mineirazo ( Mineiraço in Brazil ), meaning `` The Mineirão blow '', evoking the Maracanazo ( Maracanaço ) in which Brazil were defeated on home soil by outsiders Uruguay in the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup. The daughter of goalkeeper Moacir Barbosa, who was scapegoated for the 1950 defeat, said the loss was enough to redeem her father 's legacy, while Uruguayan striker Alcides Ghiggia, responsible for the Cup - winning goal of the Maracanazo, felt that though both games were traumatic they could not be compared as the 1950 match had more at stake. Following the match, German fans were escorted out of the stadium by police and police were put on alert for possible riots. Observers noted that while the German supporters had shown respect to the defeated hosts, Argentinian fans were celebrating Brazil 's elimination. There were reports of a mass robbery at a fan party in Rio de Janeiro and of fans setting fire to Brazilian flags in the streets of São Paulo even before the match was over. A number of buses were burned across São Paulo and an electronics store was looted. Media Estado de Minas, Belo Horizonte 's biggest broadsheet newspaper, had a blank front cover ( left ) featuring a sad supporter, a graphical representation of the goalscorers, and the headline : `` Do you even want to remember what happened ? Then turn the page. '' The back cover ( right ) had the headline `` The Biggest Shame of Brazilian Football ''. Brazilian newspapers greeted the result with headlines such as `` The Biggest Shame in History '' ( Lance ! ), a `` Historical humiliation '' ( Folha de S. Paulo ) and `` Brazil is slain '' ( O Globo ). German paper Bild heralded the `` 7 -- 1 Madness '' by the `` Lightning DFB team ''. The French L'Équipe simply said, `` Le Désastre '' ( The Disaster ). Writing for Sky Sports, Matthew Stanger described the game as the `` ultimate embarrassment '', while Miguel Delaney of ESPN referred to the match as the Mineirazo, echoing the term invented for the event by the South American Spanish language press. Barney Ronay in The Guardian described it as `` the most humiliating World Cup host nation defeat of all time '', and Joe Callaghan of The Independent described it as `` the darkest night in Brazil 's footballing history ''. Wyre Davies, the BBC 's Rio de Janeiro correspondent, said of Brazilian 's reactions at the stadium and fan parks that the `` collective sense of shock, embarrassment and national humiliation across Brazil was impossible to ignore ''. Football journalist Tim Vickery postulated that the result might be the catalyst for overdue reform of Brazilian club football, which in his opinion had become complacent in comparison to other countries, resting on the laurels of the national team 's history of success. In his words, this was a chance to `` recapture parts of its historic identity and reframe them in a modern, global context ''. Reports had many comparisons with the Maracanazo that cost Brazil a title at home in 1950, with the Brazilian media even considering that the 2014 defeat redeemed the 1950 squad. Analysts deconstructed all the tactical and technical deficiencies that led to the blowout result. Scolari still relied on the team that won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup despite many players going through dry spells, and most of them not having any World Cup experience. Brazil had not played particularly well during the group stage and first two knockout games, relying heavily upon Neymar in attack, and their flaws were exposed in the semi-finals where they faced a much tougher adversary in Germany. Neymar was such a focal point that the team barely trained any formations without him. In his absence, Scolari replaced Neymar with Bernard to maintain the attacking tradition of Brazilian football, instead of the `` ' logical call ' ( which ) was surely to bring in an extra midfielder '' against the Germans. The assistant coaches even supported bringing in the more defensive - minded Ramires and Willian. Thus, Fernandinho and Luiz Gustavo were overwhelmed by the Germany midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger. The defense that had already been questioned in previous games collapsed as Dante was proven to be an inadequate replacement for the suspended Silva, while David Luiz made uncharacteristic errors during the semi-final. Other errors included setting up Marcelo to a more attacking play, while Gustavo was tasked with covering him, and the ineffective role of Fred who is often regarded as a tactical striker rather than goal - scoring striker. Aftermath As a result of being eliminated in the semi-finals, Brazil had to settle for the bronze medal match at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasília, and never got to play at their home stadium in Rio de Janeiro for that tournament despite being hosts. Brazil finished fourth after being defeated 0 -- 3 in the third place play - off by the Netherlands on 12 July. The defeat matched Brazil 's previous worst loss at the World Cup, 3 -- 0 to France in the 1998 Final, and meant that they conceded a total of 14 goals throughout the tournament, which was the most Brazil had conceded in a single tournament, the most ever conceded by a World Cup host, and the most conceded by any team since Belgium allowed 15 during the 1986 tournament. Germany went on to win the World Cup for the fourth time, the first as a unified nation, after defeating Argentina 1 -- 0 in the final match on 13 July at the Maracanã. Germany had the support of the Brazilian crowd despite having eliminated the home team, given Brazil has a long - standing football rivalry with neighbours Argentina. The two consecutive losses, Brazil 's first consecutive home defeats since 1940, led to coach Luiz Felipe Scolari 's resignation on 15 July. Two weeks later, the Brazilian Football Confederation brought back Dunga as head coach of the Brazil national team. He had managed the team from 2006 until 2010, being dismissed following a 2 -- 1 loss to the Netherlands in the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter - finals. He was dismissed for a second time, however, following Brazil crashing out at the group stage of the Copa América Centenario in the United States two years later. In the meantime, the result `` 7 : 1 '' ( Portuguese : `` sete a um '' ) has become a metaphor for a devastating and crushing defeat in Brazilian use of language, while `` Goal for Germany '' ( Portuguese : `` gol da Alemanha '' ) is used as an exclamation after a mishap. In the Men 's Football Gold Medal match of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil defeated Germany in penalties, avenging their 7 - 1 loss in the World Cup and giving Brazil its first football Olympic gold medal.
