There was no stopping Australian midfielder Tim Cahill as he jumped for the ball over Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger. He shown the red card for the rash challenge in the 66th minute.
However, it was Germany who finished on top as they began their quest for a fourth World Cup in devastating style with a thumping 4-0 victory over the Aussies.
