Who assisted Mario Gomez's goal?
Can somebody tell me who actually assisted Gomez's/Germany's 2nd goal in the match yesterday?
I couldn't tell from the replay but I initially thought Podolski was credited with the assist. But then Mesut was the first to celebrate with Gomez and Poldi didn't celebrate at all from my view. The press articles are even more confusing on the subject, as illustrated below.
"Ozil played the role of creator, laying the ball to substitute Gomez, who beat Sidelnikov from 12 yards." (espnsoccernet)
" Mario Gomez was subbed onto the pitch in the veteran striker’s place, and made an instant impact. Mesut Ozil slid another slick pass through, and Mario Gomez was on hand to put it away." (bundesligatalk.com)
"Gomez came on as a substitute for Klose and put Germany in control in the 76th minute. Again set up by Podolski, he beat Kazakhstan keeper Andrei Sidelnikov with a shot into the corner from 13 yards (meters)." (foxsport)
"Gomez went on an amazing solo run, did a swift one-two with Lukas Podolski and found the back of the net for 2-0." (livesoccertv)
