for brazil, the result became one of their two worst losses, equalling a 6–0 defeat to uruguay in 1920, and was their worst-ever defeat at home; their previous worst defeat at home was a 5–1 defeat by argentina in rio de janeiro in 1939. the loss broke brazil's 62-match home unbeaten streak in competitive matches, dating back to their 1–3 loss to peru in the 1975 copa américa; this match was also played at estádio mineirão in belo horizonte. the last time brazil had lost a world cup semi-final was in 1938, in a dramatic game against italy in marseille, and had emerged victorious from this stage the previous six times they had reached it, since the loss in 1974 against netherlands was not formally a semi-final. brazil had never before conceded seven goals at home, although they once conceded eight goals in a 4–8 friendly defeat to yugoslavia on 3 june 1934; the last time they conceded at least five was in a 6–5 win in the 1938 world cup versus poland; at least four was in a 2–4 defeat at the 1954 world cup against hungary. brazil's previous largest losing deficit at the world cup prior to the match was three goals, which came in the 0–3 defeat to france in the 1998 final. the game's outcome also marked brazil's worst result against germany, passing a 0–2 defeat in a 1986 friendly.
