ORTALEZA (AFP) – David Silva’s
screaming free kick gave Brazil a 2-1 win over Colombia on Friday to seal a
World Cup semi-final place but the favourites saw Neymar stretchered off and
captain Thiago Silva suspended for the next clash.
Silva bundled over a Neymar corner
kick in the seventh minute to put his country ahead.
But he earned his second yellow card
of the tournament in the second half for barging into Colombia goalkeeper David
Ospina and will misss the semi-final against Germany next Tuesday.
Luiz stepped up to smash an
unstoppable 30 metre free kick past Ospina in the 78th minute. But Neymar was
carried off in agony late in the game after a rough challenge from Colombia
defender Juan Camillo Zuniga.
