At the 20th minute, the Australians responded as Brett Emerton swung over a deep cross but Jason Culina headed just wide.
At the 26th minute, Lahm, captain of the German side, curled over a cross from the right and Klose battled home the ball to make the Germans lead 2-0. Now Klose had 11 World Cup goals to his credit, four away from Ronaldo's 15.
Later the Aussies created several chances but saw their efforts in vain. The Germans led 2-0 at halftime.
Seven minutes into the second half, the Pim Verbeek's side got motivated as Brett Holman smashed a left-foot shot just wide of the right-hand post.
At the 56th minute, the Australians were dealt a big blow as Everton's Tim Cahill was red-carded for a lunging tackle on Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Thomas Mueller of Bayern Munich made it 3-0 as he powered home a right-footer at the 67th minutes. Three minutes later, Cacau, who replaced Klose, received a cross from Mesut Oezil and slotted home from a close range to make it 4-0 for the Germans, making Germany's record of winning their last five opening FIFA World Cup matches continue.
