SUNday’s results

Germany 4, Australia 0

Germany scored two goals in each half as three-time champion Germany beat Australia at Durban.

Slovenia 1,

Algeria 0

At Polokwane, Robert Koren scored a late goal to give Slovenia a 1-0 win over 10-man Algeria and first place in Group C of the World Cup, ahead of the United States and England.

It was the first World Cup victory for Slovenia, the smallest nation in the tournament.

Ghana 1, Serbia 0

Asamoah Gyan scored on an 84th-minute penalty kick as Ghana beat Serbia 1-0 in a Group D match at Pretoria.

Zdravko Kuzmanovic needlessly handled a cross in the area, then argued the call and yellow card he received. Gyan drove the penalty kick high to the left for the only goal at Loftus Versfeld stadium.
