Klose equals Ronaldo´s scoring record

FORTALEZA: Miroslav Klose equalled Brazilian legend Ronaldo´s all-time World Cup goalscoring record of 15 when he scored a minute after coming on as a substitute in Germany´s Group G match with Ghana on Saturday.

The 36-year-old striker -- appearing in his fourth World Cup finals -- slid in at the far post to level the game at 2-2 in the 71st minute.

Klose was the top-scorer at the 2006 World Cup in Germany with five goals, having finished second with another five at the 2002 tournament, while he also scored four in South Africa four years ago.
