The dreams of millions of Brazilian football fans was left in tatters as Germany beat the host nation 7-1 in the World Cup semi-final.

Spectators inside The Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte were in tears as their side succumbed to the humiliating defeat, ending dreams of a title on home soil.

The team, led by stand-in captain David Luiz, were booed off following the disappointing performance, the biggest defeat in a World Cup semi-final and Brazil's worst loss in their history.

Four goals in the space of just seven first-half minutes silenced an entire nation leaving the shell-shocked nations an almost impossible task to progress to the final, facing a 5-0 deficit at half time.

Their fate was sealed in the second half when two more goals by Germany's striker Andre Schurlle ended their hopes.
