    Get onside man! Colombia put together a lovely flowing move, they have men in the middle but Pablo Armero has strayed offside and the momentum comes to a sudden halt.

    Brazil are six minutes away from a place in the last four. Six minutes and a whole world of pain away...

    Fred doing the donkey work now, clearing a Colombia corner at the near post. Everyone's a centre-half now...

    "I think that is Colombia's first shot on target. James Rodriguez was very cool under pressure, he had to wait a little to take the penalty but as he ran in he stopped, waited for Julio Cesar to dive to his left, and put it in the other corner.

    "Now we have a game on our hands. Brazil have to just weather the storm. Colombia have suddenly got their tails up. This next five minutes will be absolutely crucial."

    Those nerves that were growing and growing before David Luiz's wonder strike are back. With a vengeance.

    Carlos Bacca floats a header wide for Colombia but he was offside.

    LAST TEN!

    Cool as you like. Golden boot? Golden touch.

    Goal number six of this World Cup as James Rodriguez waits and waits for Julio Cesar to move before sliding his spot-kick into the opposite corner. We have a game on our hands now...

    "It's James Rodriguez with a great pass. He's got eyes in the back of his head. It's a clear penalty. The only thing that saved Cesar from red is David Luiz is getting back."

    Hello! We may have a game on after all.

    What a pass from James Rodriguez, he frees substitute Carlos Bacca, he dinks it over Julio Cesar who brings him down with his knees. Cesar is booked - should that have been red?

    "Brazil's will to win this game has carried them through. This means so much to them. They have lost their heads a little bit at times, there hasn't been an awful lot of composure and they have been fortunate not to pick up more bookings, but the desire and passion they have shown has been absolutely incredible."

    Anywhere will do now for Brazil, they are just launching it downfield and letting Fred chase it. Which he isn't doing.

    Not the best performance again from Brazil but that stupendous goal is taking them through.

    Richard Harrison:, external "Great free kick from Luiz. Real Jekyll and Hyde performance from him. Can't see Colombia coming back into it now."

    Tarquin Fauntleroy:, external "This World Cup has been awesome, but if Brazil keep getting favours from terrible referees like this, it becomes a farce."

    Is that goal of the tournament? It has to be up there.

    Given the time, given the situation, given the pressure of 200m Brazilians watching on, given the distance, given the fact that he's (on paper at least) a centre-half - it has all the ingredients of a remarkable, remarkable goal...

    "Bedlam inside Estadio Castelao after that David Luiz free-kick. Brazil's fans had been getting increasingly frantic but the explosion of noise was a release of tension as well as glorious celebration."

    "An unbelievable goal. It's lifted the lid off this stadium. And it's lifted the lid off the pressure that's been building on this Brazil team. Cometh the hour cometh the man. Sidefoot? David Luiz has got no right to score from there. I've seen him miss loads of those and he doesn't care. He knows there's one in there somewhere."

    David Luiz

    "What a free-kick by David Luiz - that is absolutely outstanding. He has that technique where he hits the ball with the inside of the foot and and the ball just dips into the top corner.

    "Absolutely fabulous. A fantastic moment in the World Cup. A truly spectacular free-kick."

  18. Postpublished at 22:30 British Summer Time 4 July 2014

    Brilliant, brilliant goal. One of the great World Cup strikes and Brazil are heading through with goals from each centre-half.

    David Luiz goal

    Wow! Talk about getting hold of it!

    David Luiz takes a free-kick 35 yards out. He's not going to try one from here is he? He is you know...

    OOOOHHHH I SAAAYYY! Brilliant! David Luiz, into the top corner. Wooosh!

    You don't save those. Brazil on their way to the last four and the tension has evaporated.

    "The flag went up pretty much immediately and it is a good call. There were two players offside and they were definitely interfering with play.

    "But just moments ago Luiz Felipe Scolari did have his head in his hands. Being without Thiago Silva for the semi-final will be a massive blow for Brazil."
