Germany striker Miroslav Klose is the
record scorer in World Cup history after
netting his 16th World Cup goal in the semi-
final against Brazil.
The 36-year-old Lazio striker put his
country 2-0 ahead in Belo Horizonte.
He was level with former Brazil striker
Ronaldo
after scoring against Ghana earlier in
the competition.
Klose is only the third player in World
Cup history to score in four separate
World Cups.
His 23 World Cup appearances are the
third-highest in history.
Klose is Germany’s leading goalscorer
with 71 goals in 136 appearances, and
his country have never lost in a game in
which he has scored.
