Miroslav Klose became the World Cup`s all-time top-scorer after netting his 16th goal in the competition in Germany`s first-half semi-final rout of Brazil. The 36-year-old, appearing in his fourth World Cup semi-final, put Germany well on course for Sunday`s final in Rio de Janeiro after Thomas Mueller`s early opener. Toni Kroos then added two more in as many minutes to incredibly put the Germans 4-0 up before Sami Khedira added a fifth on the half hour mark. Klose had matched Brazilian legend Ronaldo`s record of 15 World Cup goals when he scored the equaliser in Germany`s 2-2 draw with Ghana in the group stages. This is Klose`s second goal-scoring record in just over a month after he broke Gerd Mueller`s previous mark of 68 goals to become Germany`s top scorer in a 6-1 pre-World Cup friendly win against Armenia.
