So a cracker of a game comes to an end, Germany vs Portugal at the Arena Fonte Nova,Salvador . The mighty Germans crush
10 man portugal to a quadruple of excitement, 4 -0.
The game was marked by Thomas Muller's first half brace and then a third to complete the first hat trick of this FIFA woirld cup
2014 in Brazil. Hummels scoring the second for Deustschland , heading the ball past the Portugal goalkeepr Rui Patricio, from
a sumptuous corner kick by Toni Kroos.
Germany played brilliant crisp football with a lot of flair in their passing. The game reached boiling point when Pepe reacted
aggressively to Thomas Muller 's challenge for the ball which resulted in the Portugese centre back to depart the pitch, with a red
card on his chin.
Portugal did have some chances in the second half of the game, with Nani's thunderuous effort parried away by Neuer which
fell into Eder's path but was allegedly brought down by Mertsacker but referee denied Portugal a penalty.
Adding insult to defeat Portugal also lost Hugo Almeida and Fabio Conetrao through injuries.
With Ronaldo playing at risk after not being completely fit from his knee injury , it didnt look like the fine Ronaldo we saw in
the champions league for Real Madrid. However, Ronaldo made Neuer punch away a Ronaldo signature free kick for a corner in
the dying minutes of the game.
