Germany Humiliates Brazil with Five-Goal Blitz in World Cup Semi-Final
Brazil suffered a devastating defeat in the first World Cup semi-final as Germany produced a remarkable display, scoring five goals in just 30 minutes to lead 5-0 at the Estadio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte.
The German goals came in quick succession: Thomas Müller opened the scoring in the 11th minute, followed by Miroslav Klose in the 23rd, Toni Kroos who struck twice at the 24th and 26th minutes, and Sami Khedira adding the fifth goal in the 29th minute.
This astonishing performance sent shockwaves through the stadium and left the Brazilian side stunned.
Miroslav Klose’s goal was historic, making him the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history, surpassing Brazil’s legendary Ronaldo. The 36-year-old striker has now scored 15 World Cup goals across four tournaments—five each in 2002 and 2006, four in 2010, and two in 2014. Klose also set a record by becoming the only player to reach four World Cup semi-finals.
The early onslaught from Germany was a ruthless reminder of their efficiency and precision on the world stage, leaving Brazil’s hopes of a home victory in tatters.
The moment of Klose’s historic goal has since become iconic, capturing the significance of his achievement in football history.
