When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the score was 2:0, with the home team in front and the away team behind.

Neymar's performance throughout the first half was excellent, and Brazil were able to lead Spain by two goals in the first half because of his excellent performance, especially the second goal, which he extended as the initiator of the attack and as the finisher.

Seeing Neymar performing so well, the Brazilian fans in the stands were very excited and proud, with Ronaldo and Ronaldinho withdrawing from the stage of history one after another, there was finally someone who could carry the superstar flag of the Brazilian team.

Of course, what makes Brazilian fans proudest is the unity of the players in the current Brazilian team, who have been on the pitch with their shoulders on their shoulders from the first game of the group stage, and the process of the game has shown that.

Except for Neymar, who can get too much of the ball with Scolari's approval, the other players are serving the whole and thus getting more chances.

At this time, the Spanish players who entered the dressing room were extremely frustrated, especially the likes of the Trailblazers Xavi, Casillas, Andres Iniesta and David Silva, who had won three international tournaments in six years.

Bosque swept away the negative emotions of his players, but he couldn't have a better way to motivate his players, and despite the ageing of the players in the squad, several starters had little desire for personal glory in the national team.

In addition to following Ailo to maintain a good hunger for the championship, those players who have won the European Championship and the World Cup do not have the courage to fight for the championship to the end, if it weren't for Paco's outstanding performance in the group stage, this Spain team would have been able to return home early, where is the chance to participate in the 1/8 finals?

In the second half, the two sides chose to play a tentative offensive and defensive battle.

Ten minutes later, Spain coach Bosque was the first to make changes to his personnel, with Xavi Martinez replacing the in-form veteran Xavi.

It didn't take long for the substitution to have an immediate effect, with Xavi Martinez's strong defence allowing him to focus more on attacking and helping up front.

In the 65th minute, Spain finally scored a goal to narrow the score to one, but it was at this point that Neymar stepped up again, creating a direct free-kick in front of him, and Willian hit a world wave to extend the score again......

Shortly after narrowing the score, Brazil expanded the score, which was difficult for the Spanish players to accept.

Although the players who played for Valencia always maintained their hunger for the championship under the infection of Ailo, but helpless to the poor performance of other players, the Brazilian team finally defeated the defending champion Spain 3-1 under the cheers of nearly seventy percent of the fans at the first scene, and took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals.

And the outstanding Neymar was indisputably named the best on the spot, and at the moment of the final whistle, the on-site director paid attention to him in all directions, allowing fans around the world to witness the super talent that only comes out of Brazilian football in 50 years!

Two hours later, the second 1/8 final began, between Colombia, the first team in Group C, and Uruguay, the second in Group D.

It is worth mentioning the life-and-death battle between Uruguay and Italy in the third round of Group D, although Uruguay won the game and qualified for the group, but because of the striker Suarez biting Italian central defender Chiellini during the game, FIFA banned him for nine games.

In other words, Suarez is completely waving goodbye to this World Cup......

Uruguay with Suarez and Cavani were terrifying, but Cavani, who was without Suarez, did not show the best form in the first two games at all, while Colombia's continued excellent form from James Rodriguez, who excelled in the group stage, led the team forward.

Among them, in the 27th minute of the game, the left-footed volley that stopped the ball in the chest and did not make any adjustments was scored, and it became a topic of conversation.

It is important to know that James Rodriguez's goal was completely completed after half-turning and stopping the ball with his back to the goal, and the power and angle were excellent, hitting the underside of the crossbar and flying into the goal, which is very spectacular.

Even Uruguayan fans subconsciously erupted in shouts for this goal, because ...... The goal was too beautiful.

In the second half, it was James Rodriguez's goal that helped Colombia take the lead and he tied Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo for second place in the scorer list.

James Rodriguez, who played well and made countless bettors feel extremely depressed, and James Rodriguez, who only occasionally flashed in the group stage, actually shone in the knockout round, and if this form continues, combined with the strong overall strength of Colombia, it is very likely to go further......

According to the results of the above two matches, the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be played against both sides...... Brazil and Colombia.

The 1/8 final between the Chinese team and Algeria was held at 4 a.m. Beijing time on July 1, which is 6 p.m. local time in Brazil, which is a suitable time period for kicking.

But for fans far away in China, it is not a time period of the same number, because ...... Four o'clock in the morning is the time period for Chinese deep sleep.

However, according to the pre-match voting of CCTV and other online media, hundreds of millions of fans said that they would watch the live broadcast of the 1/8 final between the Chinese team and Algeria, and even other domestic athletes said they would watch it.

After all, in the case of China's all-round progress in football, it is easy to drive everyone's desire to watch football, especially the world's top football game - the World Cup.

Although the overall strength of Algeria cannot be compared with the Chinese team, the domestic publicity is not low, whether it is CCTV, China's four major domestic portals and other online TV stations, they are very enthusiastic to publicize.

In 2010, the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and four years later the World Cup in Brazil entered the knockout round, and the opponent was Algeria.

This kind of winning mentality increases the fans' desire to watch......

There are three 1/8 finals before the 1/8 finals between China and Algeria, namely the Netherlands vs. Mexico, Costa Rica vs. Greece, and Germany vs. Nigeria.

In these three 1/8 finals, the only surprise is that Costa Rica, which entered the knockout round of the World Cup for the first time, miraculously defeated Greece on penalties and entered the quarterfinals......
