It has been exactly 10 years since Ghanaian striker, Asamoah Gyan, missed a crucial penalty kick at the World Cup, which would have sent Ghana into the semi-finals of the competition.
At the time, Ghana was the only African country left in the competition that was being held in Africa for the very first time.
Ghana had been drawn in the same group with Serbia, Germany, and Australia, from which Ghana managed to qualify for the knockout stage by finishing second.
And during the quarter finals, Ghana played against Uruguay where Asamoag Gyan missed a penalty which will have moved Ghana to the semi-finals.
A fake account on Twitter bearing the skipper’s name has asserted that he missed the penalty on purpose in order to destroy the heart of his then-girlfriend.
Asamoah Gyan has since rejected the charges, stating that the allegations are false and that his legal team would pursue the parody account.
