Robin van Persie, Daley Blind and Georginio Wijnaldum gave Holland an easy 3-0 win in a third-place play-off that was riddled with defensive errors from the hosts.
David Luiz, who performed poorly in Brazil's 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany, gave another masterclass in how not to defend.
The Brazil vice-captain headed the ball straight to Blind in the first half and he lashed the ball past Julio Cesar for Holland's second goal.
The match started in the worst possible way for the hosts, who went behind within three minutes thanks to Van Persie's penalty, and Wijnaldum wrapped up the latest humiliating defeat for Brazil in injury time.
After a poor first-half showing, Brazil improved slightly after the break, thanks mainly to the efforts of Oscar, who was booked for diving when he should have been awarded a penalty following a challenge by Blind.
Louis van Gaal's men were strong in defence all night, though. The same could not be said for the hosts, who were jeered after watching their team suffer back-to-back defeats on home soil for the first time since 1940.
