Gianni Truvianni's "South Africa 2010", Australia Manages 1-1 Draw Against Ghana Despite Playing With 10 Men

Australia got off to a good start, attacking and going directly at Ghana's goal and at the 10 minute mark of the game; they would be rewarded with a dangerous direct free kick. This being a free kick which was taken by Bresciano and in all reality should have been easily handled by goalkeeper, Richard Kingson; who not only did not catch it but managed to deflect it on to the on coming; Brett Holman. Holman then easily slotting the ball past Kingson, who was left with no chance to make up for his apparent mistake.

Australia had taken an early lead yet it would not take Ghana long to strike back. Their equalizer coming at the 23 minute mark of the game when Australia's Harry Kewell was forced to save the ball on his own goal line with what to me appeared to be his shoulder but obviously referee Roberto Rosetti; felt he had moved toward the ball. This promoting Rosetti to not only dictate a penalty but present Kewell with Australia's second red card in the tournament as well as leaving them to play the remainder of the game with 10 men.

Ghana's Gyan would convert his penalty kick in the same way he had done against Serbia to give Ghana a 1-1 draw yet for Australia this result would leave them with only one point in two games while Ghana would have four points.

Australia, despite being a man down would go on the attack and perhaps should have retaken the lead on a few occasions in the second half yet failed to convert as the score would finish at one a piece. Australia, now with one point, in their next match will face Serbia whom they will have to beat and then hope for a Ghanaian win over Germany. This in order to have any chance of making it through to the next round. As for Ghana, who now has four points; a draw against Germany should be enough to see them in to the round of 16.
