With the whistle of African referee Kalidou Koulibaly, the game began.

This is the second time Brazil and Germany have met in the World Cup, the last time was in the final of the World Cup in South Korea, when Brazil beat Germany 2-0 to be crowned fifth champion.

Both teams were favourites to win the title, with both sides fearing each other and both playing cautiously after the opening kick-off, with Brazil having a slight advantage at home, but they didn't create any good chances.

In the 8th minute, the German midfielder's misguided pass was cut off by Lucas, Robinho passed the ball to Pato, who tried to cut inside from 10 meters outside the penalty area, but the ball was cut off by a tackle from Klos, who quickly returned to the defense.

In the 12th minute, the Brazilian team also made a passing error under the pressure of the German team, and the German team advanced to the front of the Brazilian penalty area with a smooth attack, Muller shook off Ronaldinho after stopping the ball on his chest, and shot with his left foot from 8 meters in the penalty area, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar reacted quickly and blocked the ball sideways. It was Germany's first shot on goal after the opening.

Then the offensive between the two sides gradually started and the game became open.

In the 19th minute, Ronaldo Jr. made a clever direct pass at the edge of the penalty area, the ball went behind Klos and Khedira, Pato burst into the right side of the penalty area to form a single knife, in the face of German goalkeeper Neuer's block, Pato saw that the angle of his shot was blocked, he was not greedy, he pushed Neymar on the other side with the outside of his left foot, but Neymardo was not in place, and the ball flew out of the far post.

It was Brazil's best chance since the start of the game, and it was only after the ball flew off the line that the German fans let out an exclamation that if Neymar had been 0.01 seconds faster, or a centimeter longer than his leg, the goal would have gone in.

Then the German team relied on the overall tactics of the run-in for many years and Brazil's super individual ability to compete with each other, the two sides came and went, no one was willing to fall behind, the game became more and more intense, threatening shots became more and more numerous, and there were continuous exclamations and regrets in the stands and commentary seats.

The German team is worthy of being a big tournament team, even in the home stadium of the Brazilian team, the steel chariot has not been affected a little, although their skills are not as delicate as the Brazilian team, but they are rough but not rough, every link of the pass control belt is in place, the legend is concise and fast, and the tackle is fierce, so that the organization of the Brazilian team is becoming more and more unable to play, and the German team's fast attack tactics make the Brazilian team very uncomfortable.

The game played for 30 minutes, and the German team dominated the opponent and occupied the initiative on the field.

Brazil coach Menezes stood on the sidelines and frowned, he had made the most adequate preparations before the game, but after the game started, he felt that the German team was stronger than he thought, the difficulty of the Brazilian team to advance to the final is not ordinary, now Menezes only hopes to be able to score a little earlier, grasp the initiative of the game, the German team is tall and bulky, slow to turn, afraid of people hitting their back, if the Brazilian team scores first, the game will be easy to play, because they have a lot of good counter-attacking players with good speed and technology.

However, it was the Germans who scored first.

In the 41st minute, Khedira made a steal at the back, Kroos went straight to Ozil, who passed to Muller again, and the Prince of Cologne Podolski stepped in the back row and burst into the penalty area, and pushed the bottom right corner from 12 yards to score, 1-0!

The Brazilian fans in the stadium were dumbfounded.

Although Germany and Brazil are both favorites to win the championship, although Germany is the team with the best results in the World Cup, but because Brazil is far ahead in terms of mutual records, and Brazil is playing at home, Brazilian fans never thought that they would be eliminated, and reaching the final is the minimum requirement for Brazilian fans to the Brazilian team.

The German fans in the north stand cheered like a tsunami, they waved their arms and jumped to celebrate Podolski's goal, and lingered in the semi-finals for three consecutive years.

At this time, the camera was given to Brazilian female President Rousseff, Rousseff's face was a little unnatural, she personally went to the scene to watch, naturally she didn't want to see a loss, but now it seems that it is very difficult for the Brazilian team to win.

With a goal down, Brazil had no way back and launched a fierce attack in the final minutes of the first half, with Germany taking the lead and strategically retreating, dominating possession and attacking around the German penalty area.

The Germans soon regretted their retreat, because the Brazilians who attacked with all their might had become very formidable, and their Samba Army was already a team that was good at attacking, and they were full of creativity and let them play to their heart's content, even the steel chariot could not stop their inspiration.

In the 43rd minute, Ronaldo Jr. crossed from the left, Pato stepped on the ball and slipped through his crotch, Robinho curled a ball with his right foot on the inside of his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal, the ball went over the head of goalkeeper Neuer, who was unable to react, but hit the crossbar.

In first-half stoppage time, Alves fired a powerful low shot from the left side of the German penalty area, Pato blocked with his foot 10 meters in front of the goal, changing the direction of the ball's flight, but the German genius goalkeeper Manuel Neuer blocked the ball with his legs to keep the German team open.

At the end of the first half, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest for 15 minutes. The commentators commented on the fierce battle in the first half.

“…… If you want to beat Germany, you have to attack, Brazil played too conservatively in the first half, they are not a defensive team at all, Menezes needs to change their tactics......"

"Menezes wanted to wait for the German tank to make mistakes, but his idea was wrong, and as a result, the Brazilian team did not wait for the mistakes of the Germans, they made mistakes first, the Germans are known for their tenacity and rationality, and the Brazilian team should not be less mistakes than them......"

"Without Kaka, Brazil's attack is a little less sharp, if it was Kaka who shot at the end of the first half, not Robinho, I believe the score is 1:1 now, and the Brazilian defenders are a little cautious today, they don't dare to assist, because they all have yellow cards on them, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach the final because they have yellow cards on them...... And the current situation is that the Brazilian team is likely not to even make it to the final, and the Brazilians should not think about it so much now, and the Germans are the biggest opponents. ”

I don't know if Menezes heard the cries of the commentators and the fans, but after the start of the second half, the Brazilian team played very aggressively, and the two full-backs Alves and Marcelo were no longer as conservative as in the first half, they became real wings on the wings.

The German team, on the other hand, played a little conservatively after taking a one-goal lead, and the game was controlled by the Brazilian team. In fact, this is also human nature, the Germans are also human beings after all, they are not monsters made of steel.

In the 59th minute, Neymar broke through with the ball on the right side, Alves pulled to attract defenders, Neymar pushed to the middle at the edge of the penalty area, Ronaldinho cleverly leaked the ball in front of Khedira's defense, Ganso missed again, and the ball reached Pato's face, at this time the German team's defense was in chaos.

Pato, on the other hand, was unusually calm, he even stopped and dodged Mertesacker's defense, and shot with his right foot arch from 17 meters in front of the goal, the ball was close to the ground from the Shaolin abbot after 80s, Brazil pulled the score to a 1:1 draw, and Pato also scored his eighth goal of this World Cup.

“gooooooal……！！！！ Brazil played a brilliant attack, with their flowing passes breaking through the entire defence of the German tank...... An incredible performance, the stadium became the stage for the Samba Army! Ronaldinho, Ganso, Neymar, Alves, Pato, the Brazilian are full of spirit at this time, and they broke the record of the Iron Warriors with their creativity......"

The Brazilian players ran to the sidelines, twisted their butts and danced the samba, and the Brazilian fans in the incendiary stands applauded even more enthusiastically, and followed the players with the samba dance.

After the equalizer, the Brazilian team launched a more fierce attack, hoping to win the German team in one go, but the biggest characteristic of the German tank is tenacity and calmness, this conceded goal did not cause much damage to their psychology, they calmly used tackles and bodies to block the Brazilians' wave of attack, and at the same time used the counterattack to almost break the door of the Brazilian team again.

In the 65th minute, Brazil's midfielder Ronaldinho was replaced by Kaka, who had just recovered from injury, due to physical exhaustion, and Menezes made a desperate bet to use Kaka's attacking power to break the German's door.

German head coach Loew also made tactical changes to his team, with Kloss replaced by veteran Schweinsteiger, who hopes to bring balance to the team with a veteran Schweinsteiger who is both offensive and defensive.

With a little more than 25 minutes left, the game was already heating up and the fight between the two sides was getting more and more ferocious, and in the 69th minute, Alves was booked by referee Kalidou Koulibaly for a tactical foul to block Lahm's counter-attack, and he will also be suspended for the next game.

In the 75th minute, Schweinsteiger, who had just come on the pitch, hit the left side of Silva's face with his right elbow during a scramble, Schweinstein was yellow carded, and Silva went to the sidelines for brief treatment.

Then there were a lot of fouls on the field, and the Brazilian team, who suffered a little physical loss, could no longer play the smooth attack at the beginning of the second half, and after the German team's physical fitness declined, their aggressive style of play also lost its original edge.

Around 85 minutes into the game, neither Germany nor Brazil dared to risk attacking, and they tacitly defended and counterattacked and waited for another battle in extra time.
