Czech Republic 0-2 Ghana

Ghana threw Group E wide open with victory over the Czech Republic.
Asamoah Gyan fired Ghana ahead after just 70 seconds, finishing superbly to punish Tomas Ujfalusi's mistake.

Ujfalusi was sent off for bringing down Matthew Amoah, but the Czechs had a reprieve as Gyan struck the resulting penalty against the post.

Petr Cech kept Ghana at bay with a string of great saves but the Black Stars sealed victory with a second when Sulley Muntari rounded off a fine move.
Ghana gain a deserved victory to throw Group E wide open. Asamoah Gyan and Sulley Muntari scored the goals that capped off one of the finest attacking displays in the tournament so far. And it was the first victory by an African side at this year's tournament.

"Ghana should celebrate as one. They dominated from start to finish. Michael Essien was superb and, but for Petr Cech, this could have been a cricket score. On this performance they can give anyone a game. They had a fresh approach, were full of energy and it was a wonderful result for the World Cup."
Wigan manager Paul Jewell
