Five time world champion Brazil was knocked out of the tournament in the round of last eight. The disgraceful exit of the world's top ranked team came as a heart break for the Brazilian soccer fans all around the world. For the first 50 minutes the Samba boys played as the fantastic team as they are, but for the rest of the match, they completely lost their rhythm. The Dutch, currently ranked third in the world played resolutely to beat a fantastic team 2-1.
Brazil had early lead in the match and also opportunities to extend the lead . But everything changed when Felipe Melo provided the first own goal in the history of Brazil's world cup matches.The second goal was headed by Wesley Sneijder. Then came the idiotic stamping by Melo, which led to 10 man Brazil for the last 18 minutes of the game. It is second successive time that Brazil has been knocked out in the quarters.
