The match was held at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte in front of a roaring crowd, predominantly Brazilians.

At the start of the first half of the match, the Germans made no hesitations and went to work as Thomas Muller, lead scorer of Germany, made the first goal at 11 minutes.

The ruthless Germans just wouldn't let up and took command of the rest of the first half as they fired multiple shots, scoring four additional goals, courtesy of Miroslave Klose, two goals from Toni Kroos and a goal from Sami Khedira finishing the first 45 minutes of play 5-0 in favor of Germany.

After the dugout, the shook-up Brazilian team went to the field and tried to redeem themselves but winger Andre Schurrle further damaged their prides scoring two additional goals after 24 and 34 minutes of play in the second half.

The 2002 World Cup champions, Brazil, have given up at this point and the last minute goal from midfielder Oscar Embaboa made no difference as Germany marches on to the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals against the winner of Netherlands-Argentina match scheduled Wednesday.

The Germans have redeemed themselves over the loss of the cup to the Brazilians in the 2002 World Cup.

Klose, also known as "Salto Klose" came into prominence in the World Cup during his debut in 2002. He led the Germans with five headed goals, making him the first player to do so in the World Cup. He got his nickname "Salto Klose" for he does a front-flip after making a goal.

Klose is now in the record books again for being the top scorer in the World Cup, scoring 16 goals from 2002 to the present, surpassing Brazil football legend Ronaldo de Lima.
