Germany's Klose ties Ronaldo's record with 15th World Cup goal

Only Brazilian legend Ronaldo has scored as many goals at the World Cup finals as Germany's Miroslav Klose. 

The veteran German striker tied Ronaldo's record of 15 goals on Saturday, scoring a late equalizer as a substitute versus Ghana. 

Ronaldo was quick to welcome Klose to the elite club:

Remarkably, Ronaldo scored his 15th goal in Germany versus Ghana. Klose scored his in Brazil vs. those same Black Stars. 

Klose's 15th goal came on his first touch of the 2014 tournament, as he entered the game in place of Mario Goetze mere moments before his historic marker.

Klose celebrated the goal with his trademark front flip, though he struggled to stick the landing. At age 36, perhaps he's lost a little of his athleticism, if not his penchant for finding the back of the net. 

Brazil 2014 is Klose's fourth World Cup finals. He scored five times (all on headers) at Korea-Japan 2002, five more in his home nation in 2006 and four at South Africa 2010.
