On the morning Ghana's crucial Round of 16 clash against Portugal at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, striker, Ebenezer Assifuah had turned 20.After cutting the cake in a subdued party on Wednesday, high up on his list of wishes was his desire to see Ghana through.But the party really got started when Richmond Boakye-Yiadom scored from a free-kick with five minutes remaining to hand Ghana a 3-2 win and a place in the quarter-finals.This is the fifth time Ghana has reached the quarters in the competition and it capped Assifuah's birthday bash back at the team's hotel in Kayseri.“Yes, the party will go on. We are happy and full of enthusiasm. We are confident we can go even further,” said a smiling Joseph Attamah, a teammate of Assifuah.Ghana will now leave Kayseri and head for Istanbul, where they will play against Chile in the quarter-finals.
