Germany 2-2 Ghana
21 June, Estadio Castelao, Fortaleza
Coming off the back of a thumping 4-0 win over Portugal, Germany had already set out their stall as one of the tournament favourites, ahead of their second Group G encounter. Ghana, meanwhile, had been beaten by a late USA goal, with defeat threatening to end any hopes of reliving their South Africa 2010 heroics.
Having clashed four years ago, with Germany coming out on top, as well as reprising the storyline of brothers Jerome and Kevin-Prince Boateng facing off against each other, the stage was set in Fortaleza for an exciting encounter that did not disappoint.
When all was said and done in Brazil, Ghana stood as the only side to end a game with a share of the spoils against the eventual champions.

I am extremely humbled and privileged to be the the first African player to score at #3 consecutive world cups #LetsGoalGhana #MONKO
