Again, in front of home fans and their injured star player (Neymar) who sat on the bench, the Brazilians were crushed by the Netherlands 0-3 in the fight for a third place finish at the World Cup on Saturday.
Captain of the host team Thiago Silva did not feature in the 7-1 debacle against Germany but on his return on Saturday, he was instrumental to the early goal his side conceded after he pulled Arjen Robben in the box which resulted into a penalty Cooly slotted in by Robin Van Persie.
Six minutes later, David Luis poor header which was meant to be a clearance fell to Daley Blind who controlled perfectly and scored the second as the Brazilians chased shadows and tried rallying back but conceded another later scored by Georginio Wijnaldum.
Arjen Robben was awarded the Man of The Match as coach of the side Louis Van Gaal ended his reign as the handler of the Dutch national team.
