Mario Götze 51' Goal v. Ghana

In the 51st minute, Thomas Müller put a long across goal to Mario Götze, who makes a great little run between the two defenders and hits it first with head and then off his thigh. It's not a pretty finish but it goes in.

In the 91st minute Lionel Messi came off his trademark studder step, opened some space and lasered the ball into the far corner from well outside the box.
There really isn't much more to say.

Enner Valencia 65' Goal v. Honduras

From the free kick, Walter Ayoví curled a cross past the face of goal and Enner Valencia headed it into the far corner for a 65th minute goal and his third of the tournament.
This puts him in the top five of the tourney and placed him in truly elite company with Müller, Robben, van Persie and Benzema. This is astounding if we note he is the only one not playing in Europe in club play. We'll see if he can continue his scoring run as he faces better and better competition.

Neymar 17' Goal v. Cameroon

After a bungle in possession by Cameroon, Luiz Gustavo made a long low cross which Neymar caught and with a little turn of the foot slipped it into the far corner.
This is Neymar's third of the tournament but first since the Croatia game. He is just the sixth player to get to the goals and there are many minutes left in this match.
