Draman on target as Black Stars sparkle

COACH Ratomir Dujkovic celebrated a “historic moment” for Ghana as they booked their ticket to the World Cup knockout stages for the first time yesterday.

A 22nd-minute strike from Haminu Draman, as well as a controversial 45th-minute spot-kick from Stephen Appiah, saw the Black Stars march through to the last 16 after Clint Dempsey had equalised for the US.

“We made 20 million people in Ghana happy today,” Dujkovic said. “It was a very tough match, very nervous but we are satisfied that we have done it. The US were pressing a lot and we were thinking about the score in the other game.”
