HALFTIME WHISTLE -
URUGUAY - 0
GHANA - 1
(Muntari 45' + 2')
Ghana always had that goal coming at anytime during the first half, TBH. They were clearly the better side on show as their attacks were relentless. The Uruguayans started off positively and looked really good for the first 20-25 minutes and had a few chances at goal, but once the Ghanaians started off, there was no stopping them.
The ball possession was almost equal between both sides but Ghana clearly had the better chances at goal.
One of the best efforts was an audacious overhead bicycle kick by Kevin Prince Boateng which sailed merely millimeters away over the top bar of the Uruguayan goal. An example of the confidence the Ghana team were carrying into this match.
And what a fantastic way to end the first half, with a terrific long ranger which had the Uruguayan GK lunge to his left just a wee bit late, after the ball had shot past him. Superb kick by Muntari.
Ghana will be coming out with more guns blazing, I suspect. As for the Uruguayans, they need to pull up their socks asap or their road to WC glory ends here tonight.
