World Cup - Group D decided



Germany and Ghana Go Forward

Germany beat Ghana 1-0 but both teams progress after Australia beat Serbia 2-1 in the Group's other final game. The only goal of the game was a brilliant one by Mesut Ozil in the second half. And Germany were lucky - Ghana had several close misses. But in the end the Germans progress to meet England at the weekend.

It was still party time for Ghana too. They are the only African nation to progress to Round Two. That's because Serbia could not find an equaliser in a tense conclusion to their game against Australia. Australia were 2-0 up at one stage, and had a slim chance of progressing at one stage - if they and the Germans both scored one more. Their goals came from Tim Cahill and Brett Holman. But Serbia pulled one back and piled on the pressure. But could not find the equaliser that would have sent them through.
