Klose record at World Cup |
| Germany's Miroslav Klose scored his 16th career World Cup goal in his team's win over Brazil in the semifinals on Tuesday. |
Miroslav Klose found perhaps the only way to make matters worse for Brazil.
On a night when Germany thumped the host nation 7-1 in the World Cup semis, Klose became the tournament's all-time record goal scorer — beating Brazil great Ronaldo.
Klose scored Germany's 2nd goal in the 23rd minute, taking his tally to 16 career World Cup goals. It broke the mark of 15 goals he shared with the retired Ronaldo.
Klose scored after a corner by Kroos. His 1st effort was stopped by Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar, but he calmly stroked the rebound home.
The 36-year-old Lazio striker, playing in his 4th World Cup, also scored in Germany's 2-2 draw with Ghana in the group stage when he came off the bench to get Germany back into the contest.
