8 mins GOAL Germany 1-0 Australia
They only needed to be in the game for a minute. Australia’s left-back berth is bare once more as Mesut Ozil brilliantly sends Thomas Mueller into space down the German right and from the byeline he pulls it back for Lukas Podolski to hammer in via the stung palms of Mark Schwarzer. Er, clinical.
27 mins GOAL Germany 2-0 Australia
That is how to bounce back from a miss. Germany are making this look easy – captain Philipp Lahm swings over a brilliant cross from the right, Mark Schwarzer comes and can’t get there and a towering Miroslav Klose thumps home his 11th World Cup goal with his head. Stunning.
68 mins GOAL Germany 3-0 Australia (Mueller)
They’re starting to look frightening. Lukas Podolski races forward and slips a pass in for Thomas Mueller, who brilliantly stops on the edge of the box, twists inside Scott Chipperfield and lahses in an arrow-like right-foot shot in-off Mark Schwarzer’s right-hand post.
70 mins GOAL Germany 4-0 Australia
Too easy. Mesut Ozil makes a great run into space down the left and when he receives the ball he sends it quickly across goal, where Brazilian-born striker Cacau is on hand to slot in from eight yards with his first touch of the game.
