Game, players and referee
Game
History. After Cameroon in 1990 and Senegal in 2002, Ghana was the third African team to qualify for the quarterfinals of the World Cup. A qualification deserved but snatched at the overtime loss to the Americans, returned to score for third time in four games in this World. All had very good start for the Black Stars, who opened the scoring in the 5th minute and controlled the midfield and with Asamoah Boateng. But having failed to break into the first half, the Ghanaians are suffering after the break. The United States back on the field with other intentions and took control of the game ceded Ghanaian defense and concede a penalty just after the hour mark, converted by Donovan. The match can then switch from one side or the other. But nothing is scored in regulation time and it finally Gyan who scored the winning goal at the start of overtime. Against Uruguay in the quarterfinals next Friday, the Ghana can write a new page of history by becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals.

Americans
Surprised entry match the purpose of KP.Boateng, Howard is not all white, stopping his evil corner at the near post. The central axis Demers-BOCANEGRA lacked speed and has often suffered in the first half before recovering in the second act. If Cherundolo has regularly taken the right flank, BORNSTEIN merely defending his left. Bradley was again pervasive. The son of the coach has multiplied across the land, we saw both hit the goal that tackle in its surface. At his side, Clark, who lost the ball resulting in the goal, has given way to quickly EDU valuable recovery. On the sides, DEMPSEY was most prominent on the left, delivering good balls not always negotiated by its partners. Right, Donovan was forced to again defend against A. Ayew including but coolly converted the penalty. Alongside FINDLEY and Feilhaber, who are both procured a big occasion but have stumbled on Kingson, Altidore has suffered the Ghanaian central defender, particularly in the second period with his speed and his appeals in depth.

Ghanaians
Kingson has been impeccable in his goal. Author of two parades reflex, it banked on a penalty kick. The central hinge of MENSAH - JOHN and JONATHAN - was solid throughout but was made to have the same action. The first was made from a small bridge while the second one broke the attacker behind. The lateral Sarpei Pantsil and took few risks offensive. Big game Annan, in a sentry in front of his central defender, who has recovered a lot of balls and just restarted. Before him, Asamoah and KP.BOATENG were impressive power and technique in the first half before disappearing after the break. The game Ghanaian backhand with Ayew A. and indefatigable in his lane. On the other hand, was more cautious INKOOM even if played loud enough. If it did not create many chances, GYAN has played smart for his teammates, returning often take the ball and has scored the most qualifications of history.
