World Cup stunning moments: Germany humiliate Brazil 7-1
Thomas Mueller scores the first of several goals against Germany (AFP)
Brazil's World Cup dream was crushed in a matter of 25 minutes as powerhouse Germany ran riot to win an extraordinary semi-final 7-1 and send the South American hosts crashing to their worst ever defeat in their 100-year footballing history.
Thomas Mueller opened the scoring on 11 minutes, punishing poor Brazilian marking at a corner to make it 1-0. Brazil, badly missing suspended captain Thiago Silva, tried to regroup but there was no respite.
Miroslav Klose's cool finish on 23 minutes -- which made him the World Cup's all-time top-scorer with 16 goals -- was the cue for the floodgates to open.
Toni Kroos struck twice in the 24th and 26th minutes to make it 4-0 and then Sami Khedira rounded off another clinical move to make it 5-0 on 29 minutes. The Brazilians at the Mineirao Stadium were speechless. They were really stunned with all of this.
After the fifth goal, well before half-time, hundreds of people left their expensive seats.
Though Brazil rallied at the start of the second half, the torture continued on 69 minutes when Andre Schuerrle swept in Germany's sixth. This time boos rang out around the Mineirao as the Germans celebrated.
Schuerrle then grabbed his second on 79 minutes to make it 7-0, and confirm the worst defeat in Brazil's history. The previous record loss had been a 6-0 reverse to Uruguay in 1920.
Schuerlle's second goal was greeted by a burst of applause as Brazilian fans saluted Germany's wonderful exhibition of attacking football. A late goal from Oscar was barely applauded by the Mineirao Stadium crowd.
