Five minutes added. Still enough left on the clock for Ghana to level...

Free kick to USA in the Ghana half. They'll play it into the corner and try to run down time.

GOAL! Ghana are level! A lovely move down the left sees Gyan back heel into the path of Andre Ayew who fires a lovely effort beyond howard at his near post.

Time running out for Ghana as USA begin to try to exploit some of the spaces the Africans are leaving at the back.

Gyan gets one-on-one with Cameron but the USA defender does brilliantly to deny the weaving forward and clear for a throw. There have been some big performances at the back for Team USA.
