He might be missing from the field of play today, but Neymar is everywhere in Belo Horizonte. The Brazilian striker and spearhead has a fractured vertebrae – if you haven't heard – and is out of the World Cup. What's more, Brazil's captain, Thiago Silva, is suspended for this fixture against Germany. How on earth will Brazil cope?

Well, they're pinning their hopes on this man: David Luiz. The former Chelsea player scored a pearler in the quarter-final against Colombia to help get Brazil into the semis; now he's captain for the night

The Germans have reached 12 semi-finals out of the last 16 World Cups, a remarkable statistic. They've gone on to play in seven World Cup finals, winning three of them

There's more than just early pressure! Thomas Mueller slams home a corner from an unmarked position to give Germany an 11th minute lead

Germany soon make it 2-0 when Miroslav Klose slots home at the second attempt from close-range. He's now the leading all time World Cup goal-scorer with 16, taking him ahead of Brazil's Ronaldo

Guess what? It's 3-0! Barely a breath has been taken since the second goal. Germany's Toni Kroos is the scorer this time, lashing home a fine effort from the edge of the box in the 24th minute. This is extraordinary

Surely there is no way back for Brazil now? I mean, there's more than an hour remaining, so there's time, but they have been a complete mess at the back

Just look at Fernandinho. He looks broken already

Germany manage to survive all of one minute before conceding a fourth... Toni Kroos and Sami Khedira exchange passes and Kros bags his second of the match

There minutes later ... Khedira ... unmarked ... 5-0!
