At half past eight in the evening, the quarterfinals between the United States and Ghana were held at the Royal Bafken Stadium in Rustenburg.

The two teams met in the final round of the group stage of the last World Cup, with the United States returning home after a 2-1 defeat to Ghana, with a total of 12 players from both sides in the squad.

In the last game, the United States beat Algeria in stoppage time to win the group, but the United States has never won consecutive World Cup games after two wins in the first group stage in 1930.

The U.S. team has a 1-3 record in four knockout games in its history, with the only win coming in the 2002 quarter-finals against Mexico.

The match attracted a lot of American celebrities.

Kobe Bryant, the No. 1 star in the NBA, was impressively listed, and Kobe Bryant also came, talking and laughing with his friends in the box.

Kobe Bryant just renewed his contract with the Lakers this year, and the new contract salary reached 3 years and 90 million US dollars, Kobe Bryant became the second person in history since Jordan, and the only superstar other than Jordan who can get an annual salary of 30 million.

Clinton is now the most die-hard big fan of the U.S. team, and Clinton originally planned to leave after watching the U.S. team's group stage in South Africa, but because the U.S. team advanced in the final minute of the group stage, Clinton changed his mind.

The former president of the United States decided to continue with the American team.

Of course, the big-name fans of the American team are not only Clinton and Kobe, look at the old man standing next to Clinton!

This long-haired man in a suit and scarf is none other than Mick Jagger, the famous lead singer of The Rolling Stones!

The prodigal son of the music scene was an Englishman, but on this night he also became a fan of the American team.

In 2003, when Prince Charles touched Jagger on each shoulder with a light sword, the title of the Rolling Stones lead singer was not just the lead singer of "Today's Greatest Rock Band", but Sir Jagger.

That's the beauty of football!

On the field, after the game started, the Ghana team took the lead!

In the fourth minute, Asamoah pressed Clark in midfield and seized the opportunity to poke the ball to Prince Boateng.

After Prins Boateng got the ball, he started a personal breakthrough on the halfway line, drove the ball straight into front of the US penalty area!

"Smack! ……”

Prince Boateng smashes in with a pinpoint shot from the edge of the box on the left!

The soccer ball flies into the near corner!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Ghana were the first to break the deadlock and take a one-goal lead!

The goal boosted Ghana's morale, and they continued to put pressure on the United States goal for the rest of the day, leaving the United States breathless.

In the 35th minute of the first half, the United States launched an attack, Ghana central defender Jonathan Mensah made a mistake in front of the penalty area, and Dempsey took the ball and passed straight through the middle!

Findlay burst into the right side of the penalty area and fired a right-footed shot from 12 meters from goal!

Ghanaian goalkeeper Kim Sen bravely blocked the football with his legs!

The United States missed the opportunity to equalize!

Ghana went into the second half with a one-goal lead and it was a close affair.

In the sixteenth minute of the second half, the United States launched an attack, and Dempsey burst into the right side of the penalty area!

In the rush, Ghana centre-back Jonathan Mensah tackled Dempsey to the ground!

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew a whistle and pointed firmly to the penalty spot with his right hand!

Penalty kick!

Donovan took the shot, pushed with his right foot, and the ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net!

The ball is in!

One-to-one!

The Americans equalized!

Both sides looked very cautious in the rest of the period, and regular time ended and went into stoppage time.

The cable TV commentator said loudly: "It looks like the two sides are going to prepare for extra time, which will be the first time trial of the World Cup in South Africa!" ”

Neither side could achieve anything in stoppage time and had to go into extra time.

Who would have thought that just after the start of extra time, Ghana scored a lightning goal!

In the third minute of extra time, Ayew volleyed the outside of his left foot on the left side of the backfield, and the football flew to the hinterland of the United States!

Ghana's number one star Gyan stepped forward at high speed to raise his chest to unload the ball, and behind him, Bocanegra still forced his way into the left side of the penalty area, and volleyed with his left foot eleven meters from the goal!

"Smack! ……”

After a crisp sound, the football goes into the net!

Two to one!

Ghana is leading again!

In the following time, Ghana focused more on defense and they came together to maintain a one-goal lead until the end of extra time!

As the referee's whistle sounded at the end of the game, Ghana narrowly defeated the United States by one goal with a score of 2 to 1 and advanced to the quarterfinals in a thrilling way!

Ghana became only the second team in African history to reach the quarterfinals!

They are the continent's only hope for this World Cup!

After the game, Ghana received a lot of praise from the world's media, including European media, that they were leading African teams to rewrite history.

Immediately after this match, people turned their attention to the next Anglo-German match.

England finished second in the group due to poor performances in their first two group games, and they had to face the German team early.

The Germans are maturing under Loew's tutelage, reaching the European Championship final two years ago, losing by a goal at the feet of the Spanish matadors.

As Ram and a group of other young men matured, the mighty German tank returned.

When it comes to the most exciting matches in the quarter-finals, the two matches between England and Germany and Spain and Portugal are the two matches.

Because it's a powerful conversation!

The British media used historical data to encourage England: the two sides have met 27 times before, and England have the upper hand with 12 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats. This is the fifth time the two sides have met at the World Cup finals, with England winning extra-time in 1966 thanks to a controversial goal in the final.

Come on, England, it's time to wake up!

The German media encouraged the German team: from the group stage, England are not at their best, and even if they are at their best, you can solve the battle in 90 minutes!

The French team newspaper said: The exciting Anglo-German battle is about to begin, the South Africa World Cup has warmed up for the group stage, and now it has entered the feast stage, and the strong dialogue will continue to be presented to fans all over the world.

England and Germany are undoubtedly the favourites to win this World Cup, and their collision will make the World Cup in South Africa usher in the first climax!

Both teams have had an up-and-down run of form lately, with England disappointing in the group stage and failing to show the quality of the favourites. Germany's surprise defeat to Serbia after a four-goal win over Australia in their opening game shows that they are not at their best either.

The Anglo-German war is a contest of strength, but also a contest of will, who can have the last laugh will depend on whose will is more tenacious!
