Drama as Uruguay break Black Stars’ hearts

GHANA bowed out of the World Cup in the most heartbreaking circumstances in one of the most amazing finishes to a match the World Cup has ever seen.

In this tournament’s 80-year history, surely there has never been such agony for a country, and a continent.

Luis Suarez had used his hands to keep out a header in the last minute of extra-time but his red card will be no solace to the Black Stars after Asamoah Gyan’s spot-kick hit the bar and Uruguay triumphed in the shoot-out.
