On June 21, the city of Fortaleza hosted the second game of the Germans in the group stage at the FIFA World Cup. The rival of the German national team in Group G was the uncompromising African footballers of the Ghana national team.
Almost 60,000 spectators at the stadium in Fortaleza and an even larger number of football fans watched the most interesting match between the national teams of Germany and Ghana on TV screens. The game started lively. The ball practically did not linger in the center of the field. Both teams primarily aimed to attack the opponent's goal. However, in the first half, the audience did not see the goals scored. It must be said that the Germans had a slight advantage in the first 45 minutes, but African players also attacked Neuer's goal several times dangerously. Most often, the Ghanaians shot on goal from outside the penalty area. The teams left for the break with a 0 - 0 draw.
The second half of the meeting began very cheerfully. First, in the 51st minute, Mario Götze struck the gate of the Africans after a verified feed from the flank. Goetze punched his head, but the ball ricocheted into the German's thigh and thus bounced into the goal. Germany led 1 - 0. However, Ghana's players soon bounced back. Already on the 54th minute, after a flank serve, Andre Ayyu hit the gate of the Germans with his head. After the goal was scored, the Africans decently increased their pace, trying to counterattack dangerously. The Germans played the first number. As a result, on 63 minutes, a quick attack by the Africans led to a goal. Asamoah Gyan takes a shock position and shoots exactly into the far corner of the Germans' goal. Africans come out ahead 2 - 1.
It seemed that a sensation could well happen in the match, because although the Germans had sharp attacks, they lacked quite a bit before a goal. However, the German player class has taken its toll. On 71 minutes, substitute Miroslav Klose scores his first goal in the tournament and 15 in games at the World Championships. The Germans compare the score - 2 - 2.
After that, Germany had the opportunity to score more, and the Ghanaians attacked dangerously, punching from outside the penalty area at the Germans' goal. However, the final whistle of the referee fixed a fighting draw 2 - 2.
