Brazil driven out of the World Cup Final by the Netherlands
Brazil lost 2-1
Robinho had given Brazil the lead in the 10th, but the Netherlands equalized in the 53rd with an own goal from Felipe Melo.
It was a match of sharp contrasts for Felipe Melo, who set up the opening goal with a brilliant through pass but then was shown a direct red card in the 73rd for stepping on Netherlands winger Arjen Robben, leaving Brazil with 10 men.
The Netherlands reached the semifinals for the first time since losing to Brazil on penalties at the 1998 World Cup in France.
