Germany honored its status as favorites to win Group D with an electric performance at Durban Stadium, in Durban. The defensive-minded Aussies, the oldest team in the tournament, were shelled by the German attack, which ran roughshod all evening. Lukas Podolski started the scoring with a powerful goal in the eighth minute. Miroslav Klose knocked in his 11th career World Cup goal in the 26th minute. Australian midfielder Tim Cahill was shown red in the 56th minute and, as expected, things got no better for the Socceroos. Thomas Muller added a third goal in the 67th minute and Cacau scored in the 70th, two minutes after coming on as a substitute.
