catalyst2 | World Cup Game #58

With both of these teams not really expected to to do this well, this game was a bonus for both of them but sadly it didn't really turn out like that. Even though both sides attacked at times, it wasn't quite as exciting as it could have been. The goals were good and Kingson, the Ghanaian keeper just about kept Ghana in the game all on his own at times. At full-time it was 1-1 and so extra time came into play. In extra time, Ghana certainly woke up and launched a number of attacks, none of which scored. In the final minute, Suarez blocked a header from Adiyiah with his hand giving Ghana an enormous chance to win the game. Sadly, Gyan missed and so it was onto penalties. Gyan's miss seemed to have rattled a number of the Ghanaian penalty takers because there were some miserably tentative shots, meaning that Uruguay won the shoot-out 4-2, the sealing Uruguayan kick being a wonderfully cheeky chip from Abreu.
