FORTALEZA Brazil (Reuters) - Well-drilled Ghana nullified Germany's potent attack to keep out the World Cup Group G favourites while causing problems for Joachim Loew's backline in a lively but goalless first half on Saturday.

Germany's Manuel Neuer was the busier of the two keepers, palming away Christian Atsu's strike before again proving equal to Sulley Muntari's stinging drive from distance.
