Germany have routed Brazil 7-1 to book a place in the World Cup final.
Brazil’s bright start was quickly wiped away as the Germans ran riot on Julio Cesar’s goal scoring five goals in the first half.
Thomas Mueller put the Germans ahead after 11 minutes with a simple volley from a corner and they doubled the lead after in the 23rd when striker Miroslav Klose struck to become the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 16 goals.
Toni Kroos grabbed the third a minute later and the midfielder scored again in the 26th before Sami Khedira added a fifth as the shambolic Brazil defence conceded four goals within six minutes.
As Brazil fans sobbed in the stands and millions of people around the world stared at their televisions in utter disbelief, the hosts kept the Germans out for the rest of the half but their dreams of a sixth World Cup title are surely over.
The Brazilians pressed for a goal, but Neuer stood tall and protected his goal as Muller went and score a sixth goal for the Germans. Substitute, Schurrle scored the seventh before Oscar got a late consolation for Brazil.
Germany thus became the first country to score seven goals in a World Cup semifinal match.
