WC2006: Germany 4 - 2 Costa Rica
Wow! High scoring game! The highest score in World Cup (WC) opening match so far (correct or not?).
An early specatular shot from Lahm into upper far corner of the net opened the game beautifully. 6 minutes later, Costa Rica veteran striker Wanchope coolly slipped the ball past goalkeeper Jens Lehmann and equalized.
1 - 1, I shouted in excitement immediately after the equalizer because this WC began in pulsating fashion!
Then, Klose scored through a pass from Schweinsteiger in the 17th min and made it 2-1. What a start!
61st min, Klose again, 3-1. He fired in a kick high into the net after his initial header rebounced. The comfortable margin of 2 goals, however didn’t last long. Wanchope scored his 2nd goal of the match, after shrugged off a late challenge by Friedrich.
