Ghana, the team which to many is the strongest out of all those from the African continent won its first match thanks to a penalty given away very naively by Serbia's Kuzmanovic. This coming at the 84 minutes mark of the game when a cross came in to the Serbian penalty box which Kuzmanovic went up for but was unfortunate enough to have the ball hit him on his arm which he held up during his leap. All of which making for a clear spot kick which was easily converted in to a goal by Asamoah Gyan yet not before Kuzmanovic, for some strange reason argued his way in to being given a yellow card for what was a very clear handball. This leading one to perhaps ask what exactly it was that he was protesting when his handball had been as clear as can be.
Serbia for its part did not show much in the way of quality in a game that in all honesty was one of the most boring held so far in South Africa 2010. Serbia even being fortunate not to concede a second goal when Ghana hit the inside post for what would have surely been their second goal. Serbia however should not be counted out as it was back in Italia 90 (when they were Yugoslavia) when after getting off to a 1-4 lose to Germany, where able to reach the quarterfinals; where they came within a penalty kick of eliminating Argentina and going on to the semifinal. Ghana for its part has taken a very important step toward qualifying to the next round for the second time in as many world cups.
Ghana in their match will face Australia which should make for a good match while Serbia in an almost must win situation will take on Germany which definitely should make for one to watch, specially if Serbia should play up to their full capabilities; something they unfortunately do not always do.
