Germany 2 Ghana 2

Germany striker Miroslav Klose’s second-half equaliser made him the joint leading goalscorer in World Cup matches as his side recorded a 2-2 draw against Ghana in Group G.

Mario Gotze’s header five minutes after the break handed Germany the lead before Andre Ayew and then Asamoah Gyan turned the game round for the Africans as they looked to cause an upset.
