Germany vs Australia

After 8 minutes, Mesut Özil's cross was fired home by Lukas Podolski. Mark Schwarzer managed to get a hand to the shot but the ball went in regardless. Miroslav Klose doubled the German lead just before the half-hour mark by heading in German captain Philipp Lahm's cross. In the second half, Australian forward Tim Cahill was shown a red card for a tackle on Bastian Schweinsteiger. Thomas Müller further extended Germany's lead by firing home from outside the 18-yard box. Moments later substitute Cacau made it 4-0 in favour of Germany from inside the penalty area.
