catalyst2 | World Cup Game #39 (Reply)

Another exciting game with both teams sparking into life - if either lost, it was possible that they could be eliminated, depending on the result on the other Group D game. Both sides clearly decided that attack was the best form of defence so both flung everything into the attack. Numerous chances came both sides' way and both goalkeepers made a number of great saves. In the end, the Germans scored on the hour through Oezil. Surprisingly, they didn't shut up shop but kept attacking - the best defence of a one goal lead is a second goal - but Ghana had no comeback, with the game finishing 1-0 in Germany's favour. A great game and very entertaining, with both teams going through to the next round thanks to the surprise result in the other game
