World Cup 2010: Ghana 1- 0 Serbia

The Black Stars of Ghana won their opening Group D game against Serbia, beating them one-nil at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Striker Asamoah Gyan struck from the spot to give Ghana a real booster, after a Serbian defender handled the ball in the box in a desperate attempt to clear the ball. The win is the first for any African side at the South Africa 2010 tournament, after a draw by South Africa, and losses by Nigeria and Algeria. Below is a minute by minute account of the game.
