The 36-year-old has written a new piece of football history after surpassing the Brazil legend's tally of 15 World Cup goals.

Miroslav Klose has become the top goalscorer in World Cup history after scoring in Germany's semifinal against Brazil on Tuesday.

The 36-year-old struck in the first half against the host nation, tapping home from point-blank range after Julio Cesar had denied him at the
first attempt.

Since his last World Cup in 2006, Ronaldo's record tally of 15 goals in the competition had remained untouched, but Klose has now
surpassed that tally at last in his fourth tournament.
