Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has knocked down reports that there was a scramble between Asamoah Gyan and Stephen Appiah to take the last-gasp penalty kick during their World Cup quarter-final match against Uruguay.Speaking on Ghana Television on Monday, the Inter Milan ace said the team had utmost confidence in Gyan as the lead penalty-taker and that Appiah only picked the ball for him.The Rennes forward smashed his kick against the cross-bar to deny the Black Stars victory.A picture of Appiah pointing his index finger in the face of Gyan with youngster Dominic Adiyiah restraining the former from any confrontation, nourished rumours that there was a problem before the kick was taken.Gyan’s spot kick could have secured a historic semi-final berth for Ghana after the score was tied at 1-1 in extra-time.Ghana went to lose 4-2 on penalties at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.Source: Ghanasoccernet.com
