:00:59. > :01:07.Good morning. Welcome to the highlights from Day five. The day
:01:08. > :01:12.when Cristiano Ronaldo entered the tournament. All of the big names
:01:13. > :01:17.have delivered so far. We shall find out what happened to Cristiano
:01:18. > :01:24.Ronaldo against Germany. We have highlights of Ghana against the USA
:01:25. > :01:29.and Iran against Nigeria. But we begin in Salvador this morning. 18
:01:30. > :01:31.years after Germany last won a major title, the pressure is on for them
:01:32. > :01:48.to perform in Brazil. Portugal have lost to Germany in
:01:49. > :02:05.three out of the last four tournaments.
:02:06. > :02:24.The good news Portugal is Cristiano Ronaldo is fit to take his place.
:02:25. > :02:27.Portugal, not many people are talking about them as contenders,
:02:28. > :02:31.but they have reached two semifinals and a final in the last five
:02:32. > :02:44.tournaments and it has taken the eventual winners Spain to knock them
:02:45. > :02:50.out. It is Cristiano Ronaldo! Beaten away by Manuel Knowler will stop --
:02:51. > :03:12.Manuel Neuer. What a mistake! What a mess as well
:03:13. > :03:26.by Sami Khedira. What a lucky escape for Portugal. Rui Patricio cleared
:03:27. > :03:27.the ball straight to Sami Khedira. Portugal are lucky to still be level
:03:28. > :03:50.here. Germany penalty. Portugal's players
:03:51. > :04:04.continue to protest but it will not make any difference. Mario Gotze
:04:05. > :04:13.going down under pressure. 1-0! 11 minutes played an Thomas Muller
:04:14. > :04:18.scores. He starts where he left off four years ago in South Africa with
:04:19. > :04:39.a World Cup goal. Thomas Muller finding the bottom corner. Nani goes
:04:40. > :04:57.the goal. Well struck from Nani. Just over the top of the bar. Mesut
:04:58. > :05:15.Ozil waits for support. Germany have to settle for a corner. 2-0
:05:16. > :05:20.Germany! What a powerful header. Suddenly with just over half an hour
:05:21. > :05:25.played, it looks like a commanding lead. Toni Kroos with the corner and
:05:26. > :05:41.Mats Hummels finishing the job. Could be a chance. They all look for
:05:42. > :05:49.a flag on Could be a chance. They all look for
:05:50. > :06:00.raised. In the end, the ball just deflecting wide of the goal.
:06:01. > :06:21.Goalkick for Manuel Neuer. Pepe could be and Barbour. Did he
:06:22. > :06:25.catch Thomas Muller in the phase? Thomas Muller squaring up to him and
:06:26. > :06:35.straight off. No stranger to controversy during his career. No
:06:36. > :06:39.hesitation from the referee. It goes from bad to worse for Portugal. Two
:06:40. > :06:47.goals down. They will have to play the rest of the match with ten men.
:06:48. > :06:51.There wasn't an awful lot in that. But here he goes in and he strikes
:06:52. > :07:01.Thomas Muller on the head. That is what he has been sent off for.
:07:02. > :07:23.Two minutes of added time. They almost lining up in the centre.
:07:24. > :07:28.3-0! Thomas Muller is there. This game looks all over and the
:07:29. > :07:32.half-time whistle hasn't even been blown. Thomas Muller, the golden
:07:33. > :07:39.Boot from four years ago has two in the first 45 minutes of Jemini's
:07:40. > :07:44.open game. The initial block from Bruno Alves, but Thomas Muller was
:07:45. > :07:53.quickest to react after the ricochet came off his leg and Rui Patricio
:07:54. > :08:02.unable to keep it out. Germany looking impressive so far. Lovely
:08:03. > :08:14.stadium and decent sized crowd, 51,081. Cristiano Ronaldo cannot get
:08:15. > :08:22.going at all. Saved by Rui Patricio. Thomas Muller! Portugal's defenders
:08:23. > :08:36.all look accusingly across the near side. Mesut Ozil unable to take
:08:37. > :08:49.advantage. Ricardo Costa beaten. Another test here. The block is
:08:50. > :08:55.made. Lightening quick breakaway for Germany. An excellent chance to add
:08:56. > :09:03.to the three goals they have scored. Andre Schurrle with the ball in.
:09:04. > :09:16.Mario Gotze took his time but Portugal able to survive. Nani with
:09:17. > :09:30.this shot. Eder down and the referee says no penalty. Cristiano Ronaldo
:09:31. > :09:39.is boiling over. Eder is challenged. Not a great clearance
:09:40. > :09:55.again by Rui Patricio. Could open the door. Thomas Muller! Thomas
:09:56. > :10:01.Muller has a hat-trick. It is his eighth World Cup goal. He has a
:10:02. > :10:10.habit of being in the right place at the right time. Andre Schurrle's all
:10:11. > :10:28.in. On a plate from the goalkeeper. Rui Patricio could merely push it
:10:29. > :10:36.out to the German forward. Eder trying to turn away from Per
:10:37. > :10:41.Mertesacker and gets a free kick. Just over a minute remaining in
:10:42. > :10:46.added time and a last chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to do something
:10:47. > :10:57.from a set piece. Good save by Manuel newer. That was travelling
:10:58. > :11:03.like an Exocet. Solidly saved. There goes the final whistle. Germany have
:11:04. > :11:08.not dropped points in their first World Cup game since 1986. They have
:11:09. > :11:12.won the opening match of the seventh time in a row and in five of those
:11:13. > :11:19.seven games they have scored at least four goals. Pepe sent off and
:11:20. > :11:28.Portugal were never in the game. Germany convincing winners by 4-0.
:11:29. > :11:33.Let's get thoughts on that one. Many people thought it would be Cristiano
:11:34. > :11:46.Ronaldo's chance, but it was Thomas Muller's date? Great German
:11:47. > :11:54.performance. That they changed Portugal. That was the turning point
:11:55. > :11:58.for you? Yes. Cristiano is the best player in the world at the moment,
:11:59. > :12:05.but you cannot play alone. We have seen most of the big sides playing
:12:06. > :12:10.now, how highly do you rate Germany? The Germans have been one of my
:12:11. > :12:16.favourites from the start. They came in strong, even at the beginning of
:12:17. > :12:28.the game they showed a lot of fast play, a lot of quality play. And
:12:29. > :12:39.Thomas Muller, he knows how to kick it in! He scores goals in world
:12:40. > :12:50.cups? He is always there. Thomas Muller, he is very skilled, just at
:12:51. > :12:53.the right moment putting it in. They are so solid. They know what to do
:12:54. > :12:55.and they know how to play the game. And when they had one man more, it
:12:56. > :13:00.was game over. Time for the other two games. Iran and Nigeria coming
:13:01. > :13:04.up in a moment but not many highlights from that one. But first
:13:05. > :13:08.Ghana against the USA. Watched by Guy Mowbray and Robbie
:13:09. > :13:13.Savage. The World Cup and all its goals has felt like all of our
:13:14. > :13:21.Christmas is coming at once. Welcome to the city that was named after
:13:22. > :13:33.Christmas. Ghana is the youngest side at this World Cup. Sulley
:13:34. > :13:37.Muntari is there is still there. Tim Howard, Geoff Cameron and Jozy
:13:38. > :14:03.Altidore all start but the USA. Away we go. Humidity is quite high.
:14:04. > :14:07.Temperature is very pleasant. Ghana against the United States for the
:14:08. > :14:09.third World Cup in a row. Robbie Savage is alongside me. Looking
:14:10. > :14:13.forward to third World Cup in a row. Robbie
:14:14. > :14:20.Savage is alongside me. this youthful Don Nairne said against
:14:21. > :14:31.this disciplined USA team. -- Garner said. Chance already for Dempsey.
:14:32. > :14:40.What a start. 31 seconds played. Clint Dempsey is so quick off the
:14:41. > :14:45.mark. Jurgen Klinsmann is up of the bench. USA are up and running.
:14:46. > :14:52.Incredible start. Goes back the December and what a finish. Clint
:14:53. > :15:12.Dempsey, great start for the USA. So easily passed John Boye. Had one
:15:13. > :15:18.look at the goalkeeper. Dempsey had to work to keep the US in
:15:19. > :15:44.possession. It inches away from Bradley. The door was closed.
:15:45. > :15:56.It seems Ghana is having a lot more of the possession at this stage.
:15:57. > :16:15.They are, but they are not doing much with it. Howard has two beat
:16:16. > :16:33.away the shot. They are testing the USA goalkeeper. Andre Ayew. What a
:16:34. > :16:46.good ball! Asomoah Gyan could not hang in the air long enough to apply
:16:47. > :17:00.the finish. All of a sudden it is a nervous looking USA. That needed the
:17:01. > :17:11.left hand of Howard to put it behind. What a leap. It is a
:17:12. > :17:26.fantastic save. Tim Howard had to go for it. Jones is onto it. He wanted
:17:27. > :17:31.it a little bit more than Rabiu. They are strong in the midfield
:17:32. > :17:46.area. Jones coming in from the left hand side. That was such an
:17:47. > :18:10.important block. He got up there and shut the ball down.
:18:11. > :18:21.It looked as if that was going to be the best chance the USA have had for
:18:22. > :18:41.ages to make it 2-0, but it never really opened up. 1-1. Brilliantly
:18:42. > :18:55.finished. Ghana's persistence paid off. A great run, fantastic
:18:56. > :19:08.backheel. They just could not close the ball down. A wonderful finish,
:19:09. > :19:17.the outside of his left foot. Now we see a really interesting end to the
:19:18. > :19:26.game. Johannson. Johnson round the back. Out it goes. A corner. He has
:19:27. > :19:44.forced that by Peel in Devon. Johannson is on the keeper. -- by
:19:45. > :19:50.Peel endeavour. It is in. The stars and stripes are waving for John
:19:51. > :20:01.Brooks's first goal for the United States. What a finale we are
:20:02. > :20:14.witnessing. It looks as if he has got the winner! The United States of
:20:15. > :20:27.America win their opening game of the 2014 World Cup. Joy for Jurgen
:20:28. > :20:35.Klinsmann. A dejected leader of the Ghanaians. They got back into the
:20:36. > :20:45.game, gave all they could, but the US one. The US team always have
:20:46. > :20:53.great spirit. It was a shock but we had an injury. It was a grind, but
:20:54. > :21:01.it was a wonderful one at the end of the day. We've got to do a better
:21:02. > :21:07.job of keeping possession. We are still dangerous on set pieces. We
:21:08. > :21:11.have two stay sharp on those. I think this win will give us some
:21:12. > :21:16.confidence and give us a boost going into the next game. There is
:21:17. > :21:21.undoubtedly stuff we need to improve. We had problems keeping the
:21:22. > :21:28.ball, just pass it around and get a little bit more into the game. But
:21:29. > :21:34.it is also that we are playing against Ghana. They are a good team
:21:35. > :21:38.and they know how to grind you. However, we got the three points
:21:39. > :21:50.that we wanted and we commute on. So, it is Germany on top with the
:21:51. > :22:03.USA placed second. Now for the second game in Group F Twain Iran
:22:04. > :22:17.and Nigeria. -- between Iran and Nigeria. Iran have an experienced
:22:18. > :22:29.squad. Six of them are based in Europe.
:22:30. > :22:56.The expectation is on Nigerian and this one -- on this one. Desperate
:22:57. > :23:08.defending from Iran. He outmuscled him. Excellent play. It was an
:23:09. > :23:24.Aussie with the shot. Keshi is the man who finally gets World Cup
:23:25. > :23:57.experience as a manager. Nigeria have a free kit. -- a free kit.
:23:58. > :24:08.After 33 minutes of the game, Iran have their first corner. It is an
:24:09. > :24:21.inviting one. A great save from Enyeama. Something out of nothing
:24:22. > :24:23.form Iran. It almost came off for them there, capitalising on a safe
:24:24. > :25:11.way. Better delivery. A big chance. It
:25:12. > :25:26.was a foul there. The referee blew up just before it.
:25:27. > :25:49.Is this going to be the first goalless game of the World Cup? It
:25:50. > :25:59.is shocking, absolutely shocking. It is a shoulder. That is irrelevant.
:26:00. > :26:11.It did not hit the target. Odemwingie has looked like a bright
:26:12. > :26:27.spark since he came on. Last minute of the 19. -- of the 90.
:26:28. > :26:46.Good defending at the far post. A decent chance for Ameobi. That
:26:47. > :26:58.result leaves the Group F table looking like this.
:26:59. > :27:06.So, Clarence, should we gloss over Iran and Nigeria. Not a lot of
:27:07. > :27:11.highlights there. It was like going back four years ago when we have
:27:12. > :27:17.those matches where people were just sitting back. Nigeria started well,
:27:18. > :27:22.but they did not find the golf. Unfortunately, it was the first draw
:27:23. > :27:29.of the competition, but that is fine. A fantastic finish between
:27:30. > :27:34.Ghana and the USA. Absolutely. The first half was great for the USA.
:27:35. > :27:47.They show they have something to say. Ghana came back in the second
:27:48. > :27:52.half. The corner kick at the end gave the US a chance to bring it
:27:53. > :27:56.home and they did. You have someone like Jurgen Klinsmann who knows how
:27:57. > :28:03.to win as a player and manager. Does that make a difference? The
:28:04. > :28:07.substitution made the difference. He said also after the game that he
:28:08. > :28:14.still thought they could make it. The difference again, more
:28:15. > :28:21.maturity. They know how to struggle and stay in the game. Garner did not
:28:22. > :28:26.create all of the chances, but you still have two hang in there all the
:28:27. > :28:34.way and that is what they did. Thank you for assessing yesterday's
:28:35. > :28:39.playing for us. But it it. I hope you have enjoyed the show. Two more
:28:40. > :28:47.live games. Brazil take on Mexico and then Russia begin their campaign
:28:48. > :28:49.against South Korea from 10:40pm. We will be back tomorrow morning. From
:28:50. > :28:52.both of us, goodbye.
