As it happened: Germany vs Ghana, World Cup 2014

Germany repeated their feat from four years ago by opening the World Cup with a 4-0 victory. Now they hope there won't be a repeat of their second game in South Africa when they take on Ghana.

The Germans routed Australia to start their 2010 campaign, but then lost to Serbia 1-0 in the next game. After beating Portugal 4-0 in Brazil on Monday, Germany are wary of another letdown in Fortaleza against Ghana - the same team they beat 1-0 in their third game in South Africa to reach the knockout round.

Ghana lost their opening match 2-1 to the United States and can't afford another loss, while Germany would all but clinch a spot in the knockout rounds with another win.
