German Striker Miroslav Klose has equaled the record for most goals scored at the World cup finals.
Klose now has 15 World Cup finals goals in 20 matches to his name and became only the third player after Pele and Uwe Seeler
He reached the milestone in Germany’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on Saturday.
The 36 year-old Lazio striker, who started the game from the bench, came on in the second half and scored with his first touch after he got on the end of a Howedes flick from a corner to prod in from about a yard with Ghana 2-1 up.
The German’s strike was met with great excitement on social media with several sports icons tweeting congratulatory messages to the player.
German tennis player Tommy Haas: Klose, doing what he does best.
German tennis player Sabine Lisicki: Klose made his 15th goal.
Former Brazilian striker Ronaldo: Welcome to the club #Klose I can imagine how happy you are. What a nice World Cup!
Klose will look to break the record he now jointly holds with Brazilian striker, Ronaldo against the USA as he helps Germany progress from the group.
The Black Stars now have the unenviable record of being on the receiving end of the milestone strikes from both Ronaldo and Klose, having conceded the Brazilian’s fifteenth goal in 2006.
