With the African referee Koulibaly's whistle, the game began.

This is the second time Brazil and Germany have played against each other in the World Cup. The last time was in the final of the World Cup in Korea and Japan, when Brazil defeated Germany [-]-[-] to win the fifth crown.

These two teams are the favorites to win the championship. Both sides are afraid of each other. After the opening, they played very cautiously. The Brazilian team at home has a slight advantage, but they did not create any good opportunities.

In the 8th minute, the German midfielder made a pass error and was intercepted by Lucas. Robinho passed the ball to Pato. Pato tried to cut in and shoot 10 meters outside the penalty area, but the ball was quickly returned to the defense. Lowes broke the tackle.

In the 12th minute, the Brazilian team also made a pass error under the pressure of the German team. The German team advanced smoothly to the front of the Brazilian penalty area. With a strong shot from his left foot, Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar reacted quickly and blocked the ball sideways.This is the German team's first shot after the opening.

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

In the 19th minute, Ronaldo made a clever pass from the front of the penalty area. The ball went behind Klose and Khedira. Pato broke into the right side of the penalty area to form a single goal. Facing the block of German goalkeeper Neuer, Pato saw himself shoot The angle 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.

This was the best chance for the Brazilian team since the opening game. After the ball flew out of the baseline, the German fans let out an exclamation. At that time, if Neymar was 0.01 seconds faster, or his legs were one centimeter longer, the goal would have been scored.

Then the German team competed against each other with the overall tactics of years of running-in and Brazil's super personal ability. There were many exclamations and regrets from the stands and commentary seats.

The German team deserves to be a large-scale team. Even at the home court of the Brazilian team, the steel chariots have not been affected at all. Although their skills are not as delicate as the Brazilian team, they are rough but not rough. Very good, the legend is concise and fast, and the tackles are extremely fierce, which makes the organization of the Brazilian team more and more difficult to fight, while the German team's fast-playing and fast-break tactics make the Brazilian team very uncomfortable.

The game lasted 10 minutes, and the German team turned away and took the initiative on the field.

The head coach of the Brazilian team, Menezes, stood on the sidelines and frowned. He had made the best preparations before the game, but after the game started, he felt that the German team was stronger than he thought. The Brazilian team wanted to advance to the final The difficulty is not ordinary. Now Menezes only hopes to score a goal earlier and take the initiative of the game. The German team is tall and bulky, turning slowly, afraid of being hit behind them. If the Brazilian team scores first, the game will be easy. Yes, because they have many counter-attackers with excellent speed and technology.

However, it was the Germans who scored first.

In the 41st minute, Khedira made a steal from the backcourt, Kroos went straight to Ozil, and the latter passed to Müller. Podolski, the Prince of Cologne, broke into the penalty area from the back row and succeeded in pushing the lower right corner from 12 yards, 1- 0!

The Brazilian fans in the audience were dumbfounded.

Although Germany and Brazil are both favorites to win the championship, although Germany is the best team in the World Cup, but because Brazil is far ahead in mutual record and Brazil is playing at home, Brazilian fans have never thought about them Will be eliminated, reaching the final is the minimum requirement of Brazilian fans for the Brazilian team.

The fans of the German team living in the North Stand cheered like a tsunami. They waved their arms and danced to celebrate Podolski's goal. They have been in the semi-finals for three consecutive times. Now the German fans are extremely eager After winning a championship and seeing them leading the Brazilian team in terms of scenes and scores, the German fans were so excited that they could not rush into the stadium to celebrate.

At this time, the camera turned to the Brazilian female president Rousseff. Rousseff's face was a little unnatural. She went to watch the scene in person. Naturally, what she didn't want to see was a loss, but now it seems that the Brazilian team wants to win. The difficulty is great.

The Brazilian team, which was one goal behind, had no way out. They launched a fierce attack in the last few minutes of the first half. After the German team took the lead, they began to retreat strategically. The Brazilian team took possession of the ball and surrounded the German team's penalty area. .

The Germans soon regretted their retreat, because the Brazilians who were attacking with all their strength became very scary. Their Samba Army is a team that is good at attacking. They are full of creativity and let them play to their heart's content. Even the car couldn't stop their brainstorm.

In the 43rd minute, Ronaldo made a cross from the left. Pato stepped on the ball and missed it from his crotch. Robinho curled the ball on the inside of his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal, and the ball passed the goalkeeper who was unresponsive. Neuer's head, but hit the crossbar.

In stoppage time in the first half, Alves made a strong low shot from the left side of the penalty area of ​​the German team. 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 Neuer used his leg to pass The ball was blocked, trying to keep the German team from losing.

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

"... If you want to beat the German team, you have to attack. The Brazilian team played too conservatively in the first half. They are not a defensive team at all. Menezes needs to change his tactics... ..."

"Menezes wanted to wait for the Germans to make mistakes, but his idea was wrong. As a result, the Brazilian team did not wait for the Germans' mistakes, but made their own mistakes first. The Germans are known for their tenacity and rationality. Who should have fewer mistakes than them..."

"Without Kaka, the Brazilian team's offense was a bit less sharp. If Kaka shot at the end of the first half instead of Robinho, I believe the score is now 1:1, and the Brazilian defenders They are a bit cautious today, they don’t dare to assist, because they all have yellow cards, they are worried that if they get another card, they will not be able to enter the final... But the current situation is that the Brazilian team may not even enter the final, the Brazilians are not now. So much should be considered, the Germans are the biggest opponents."

I don’t know if Menezes heard the cries of the commentator and the fans. After the start of the second half, the Brazilian team played very aggressively. The two full-backs Alves and Marcelo were no longer as conservative as they were in the first half. They became a real winger.

After leading by one goal, the German team still played conservatively, and the game was controlled by the Brazilian team.In fact, this is also human nature. Germans are human beings after all, they are not monsters made of steel.

In the 59th minute, Neymar dribbled the ball from the right and broke through. Alves pulled to attract defensive forces. Neymar pushed to the center from the front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho cleverly missed the ball with Khedira defending in front. However, Ganso missed again, and the ball was in front of Pato. At this time, the German team's defense was already in chaos.

But Pato was extremely calm. He stopped and passed Mertesacker's defense. He shot with the arch of his right foot 17 meters in front of the goal. The ball stuck to the ground and slipped through Neuer's armpit. The post went into the net, and Brazil tied the score at 1:1. Pato also scored the eighth goal of this World Cup.

"goooooooal...!!!! The Brazilian team played a wonderful attack, they passed the ball like a cloud and penetrated the entire defense line of the German chariot... an incredible performance, the stadium became the stage of the Selecao! Ronaldo Dinho, Ganso, Neymar, Alves, Pato, the Brazilians are full of spirituality at this time, they use their creativity to break the record of Iron Warriors..."

The players of the Brazilian team ran to the sidelines, twisted their buttocks and danced the samba. The incited Brazilian fans in the stands gave out more enthusiastic applause and followed the players to dance the samba.

After the score was equalized, the Brazilian team launched a more violent attack, hoping to win the German team in one go, but the biggest characteristic of the German chariot is tenacity and calmness. He used his tackle and body to block the wave after wave of the Brazilian's offensive, and at the same time used the counterattack to almost break through the Brazilian team's gate again.

In the 65th minute, Brazil's midfielder Ronaldinho was replaced by Kaka, who had just recovered from his injury. Menezes desperately hoped to use Kaka's attacking power to break the German's door.

German coach Loew also made tactical adjustments to the team. Klose was replaced by veteran Schweinsteiger. Loew hoped that veteran Schweinsteiger, who is good at offense and defense, could bring balance to the team.

There were still a little more than 25 minutes left, the game had become fierce, and the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce. In the 69th minute, Alves took a tactical foul in order to block Lahm's counterattack, and was punished by the referee Koulibaly. Yellow card, he will also be suspended for the next game.

In the 75th minute, Schweinsteiger, who had just played for the top, hit Silva's left face with his right elbow. Schweinsteiger was warned by a yellow card, and Silva went to the sidelines for short-term treatment.

Afterwards, fouls continued on the field, and the Brazilian team, who suffered a little from a physical disadvantage, was turned on their backs. They could no longer play the smooth attack at the beginning of the second half. After the German team's physical fitness declined, their aggressive play also lost its original edge.

When the game lasted to about 85 minutes, neither the German team nor the Brazilian team dared to take the risk of attacking. They tacitly defended and counterattacked and waited for another showdown in overtime.
