Luiz stunner seals Brazil win over Colombia FORTALEZA Brazil (Reuters) - A stunning second-half free kick from #Brazils David #Luiz sealed a 2-1 win over #Colombia in a frantic World Cup quarter-final on Friday, keeping the hosts on track for a sixth world title. Captain Thiago Silva bundled in Neymars corner at the back post to put the hosts ahead in the seventh minute before Luiz thundered home a dipping 30-metre free kick midway through the second half at the Castelao arena. Colombia had a goal disallowed before in-form James Rodriguez dragged his side back into the match from the penalty spot with just over 10 minutes remaining, his sixth goal of the tournament. Brazil forward Neymar was carried off on a stretcher in the closing stages but the hosts hung on to set up a semi-final against Germany, who beat France 1-0 earlier on Friday in Rio de Janeiro.
