Biggest Defeat in Brazil Football History

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Brazil have lost their hopes to win the World Cup in their own soil in a night that the future Selecao will not forget. Brazil, in the absence of their superstar striker Neymar and skipper Thiago Silva, were down by seven goals to one against Germany in the World Cup semifinal at Estadio Mineirao, last night.

The defeat remarked the highest goals conceded by Brazil in their history of football, breaking the 94-year history that collected Brasil's 6-0 defeat against Uruguay. Despite the fact that Brazil still have the chance to win the second runner-up place, home fans were left devastated by the extremely poor performance that the host nation made last night.

Brazil's calamity was already seen in the first half, when Der Panzer were five-goal ahead, courtesy of Thomas Muller, Miroslav Klose, Toni Kroos, and Sami Khedira. Klose, especially, received major highlight by the media as he broke the long-standing goal-scoring record held by Ronaldo - scoring the most goal in World Cup finals with 16 goals collection.

In the second half, Germany, courtesy of Chelsea's Andre Schuerlle, still managed to gather two more goals amid low percentage of ball possession. In the end, Brazil gained their only consolation with another goal from Chelsea player Oscar.
