Ghana forward Kevin-Prince Boateng says playing against his brother at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa was 'special'.

Ghana engaged Germany in their second group game at the 2010 World Cup where Kevin-Prince Boateng came face-to-face with his brother Jerome.

But a lone strike Mesut Ozil was enough to ensure that Germany topped Group D.

The game created history as the two brothers became the first brothers to have play on opposing sides in a full international.

“Of course it was very special. Never before have two brothers played against each other at a World Cup," the Besiktas forward said in a chat with his brother on Instagram.

"I don't think I slept at all the night before. The media made it a big story, partly because there were a few misunderstandings at times," he added.

The brothers also played against each other during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
