Ghana have had the best chances in the first half, as Germany are held to a goallessà draw at the break of their exciting World Cup match.
Thomas Muller was hoping to add to his hat-trick in the 4-0 mauling of Portugal and Matsà Hummelsà shook off a thigh injury, butà Bastianà Schweinsteigerà wasnââ¬â¢t fit to start yet.
Ghana fell 2-1 to USA in the final minutes and were in dire need of a result.
Brothers Kevin Prince and Jeromeà Boatengà faced off for different nations.
Ghana had a confident start, asà Asamoahà Gyanà fired over from a Christianà Atsucross, then the provider had his own shot to sting Manuelà Neuerââ¬â¢sà gloves and Muller came sliding in on aà Mesutà Ozilà assist.
A long-range screamer from Milan midfielderà Sulleyà Muntarià again forcedà Neuerinto a save and the goalkeeper sprinted off his line to put offà Gyan.
Muller rolled across the six-yard box, but Marioà Gotzeà couldnââ¬â¢t quite get there in time for the tap-in.
