Also, it proved to be a record-breaking night in Belo Horizonte as the match saw a number of records broken by both sides.

- Miroslav Klose became the leading scorer in World Cup finals. His goal was his 16th, one more than former Brazil striker Ronaldo.

- Brazil's first home defeat in a competitive match since 1975 when they lost 3-1 to Peru in the Copa America semi-finals.

- The first time Brazil had ever conceded seven in a World Cup match. They have only conceded more once in any fixture, an 8-4 loss to Yugoslavia in a friendly in 1934.

- Klose has been on the winning side 16 times at the World Cup, equalling the record set by former Brazil full-back Cafu.

- Thomas Muller's goal was Germany's 2000th in all matches played. Fritz Becker got their first in 1908.
