Klose shines as Germany draw with Ghana

Miroslav Klose hit a World Cup record-equalling 15th goal as Germany fought back to claim a 2-2 draw with Ghana at Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday. Klose had only been on the pitch as a substitute for two minutes when he jabbed home Germany's equaliser and joined Brazilian great Ronaldo on top of the all-time scoring charts. The 36-year-old Lazio struck in the 71st minute of a thrilling Group G game at the Castelao Stadium after goals from Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan had fired Ghana into a 2-1 lead. Mario Gotze had given Germany the lead, heading in off his own knee on 51 minutes after a goalless first half. But Ghana struck back brilliantly, levelling through Ayew’s 54th minute header before Asamoah fired the Black Stars into the lead. The result left the Germans, who beat Portugal 4-0 in their opening match, on top of Group G with four points. Ghana, beaten by the United States in their first game, have one point heading into their final match with Portugal next week, according to AFP.
