Brazil's Team |
Brazil is now advancing to World Cup
semi-finals after they defeated Colombia in a 2-1 score.
In the 87th minute of the game, Neymar
was taken off on a stretcher after injuring his knee; thus he was not
able to play for the overtime period. Before the final five minutes
of the overtime, Colombia tried to have a goal with its free kick,
but the ball bounces over the goal and they failed to make the tie.
In the final moments of the game,
Colombia's James Rodriguez drives the ball into the box then deals
with teammate Carlos Bacca. However, Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar
brings Bacca down before closing in on.
Colombia tried to show some power, but
Brazil's James Rodriguez was just too flexible to block the struggles
of Colombia and keep the ball out of the goal. The lead of Brazil
could be attributed to its powerful ball possession and defense led
by Rodriguez sparing goalkeeper Julio Cesar from much work.
With this victory against Colombia,
Brazil gets the chance to play in the semi finals against Germany.
