That's enough excitement for one night. We're back on Tuesday when day six of the World Cup starts with Belgium against Algeria in Group H, followed by hosts Brazil taking on Mexico in Group A in Fortaleza.

It's back to Group H as Russia face South Korea rounds off the day's action. Until then. . .

American hero John Brooks was actually born in Germany. The 21-year-old, who plays his club football for Hertha Berlin, was born to an American serviceman father and a German mother.

He represented the US Under-20 team but also attended a training camp for the German equivalent before opting to plays for the States, and made his debut against Bosnia last year.

"This result will give the United States belief going into the Portugal game. Portugal have to try to come out to win that game but you would think with their firepower they will do better than Ghana. Ghana are in big trouble."

Andrew in Belfast via text: Another tremendous finish to a game at this World Cup. Brazil 2014 is fast gaining a reputation as being a World Cup that delivers late goals and last-gasp drama. Long may it continue.

Ghana's next game is against Germany, 4-0 winners over Portugal, on 21 June in Fortaleza. The United States face Portugal next in Manaus on 22 June.

"Ghana are in trouble. They still have to play the big dogs in the group."

United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann:

"I said to the bench a few minutes before our winner 'we are going to get some chances. We need to push and grind it out'. We trained over and over on set pieces and it was well deserved.

"We have a great spirit and fight until the last minute. It was a grind but it was a wonderful one at the end of the day. There is stuff we need to improve. We had problems with keeping the ball."

Jameela:, external John Brooks's reaction to his goal was the best. Even he couldn't believe it.

John Pierce:, external One game stolen, presumed kidnapped, please return to the country of Ghana immediately.

Bradley Evans:, external Well done to the US on their win. They showed so much character. Now it's Portugal and Germany.

United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann is speaking to television and it's fair to say he looks pretty made up with that result. What a game. Another belter to add to the 2014 World Cup collection. This tournament continues to delight.

"The way Ghana conceded the corner kick that led to the USA winner was poor. In these games you can't do that."

"It gave me goose bumps when John Brooks scored. He was on the bench and might have thought he wasn't going to play. At that time there was only going to be one winner and that was Ghana. The USA were just happy to get a corner.

"After Ghana scored they kept pressing and we thought they were going to win. They deserved the equaliser and they were unlucky to lose the game."

Clarence Seedorf
Match of the Day analyst

"It was all Ghana second half but you see the mentality is so important. The USA kept the belief until the end. John Brooks couldn't believe it and that was the beauty of it."

"One of the moments of the World Cup for me was the reaction of John Brooks for the winning goal. That was priceless. That is what the World Cup is all about."

"Credit to the USA - they deserved that. You could see they had something to prove for the two previous results in World Cups. They went ahead and held on. Ghana got back in the game and didn't do what they needed to do.

"They gave away that momentum and the USA did all the ugly stuff to see a game out. In a group as tough as this, it's a huge win."

It's all over. Ghana's deflated players collapse on the pitch, their second half efforts all in vain. Meanwhile, USA fans are delirious. The Stars and Stripes have their first points of the World Cup. John Brooks is the American hero.

Ghana hoof it forward. The ball is not dropping for them and the chances have dried up. Seconds to go. . .

Jurgen Klinsmann, a World Cup winner in 1990, is getting ready to celebrate. The German is two moments away from a crucial win.

Sulley Muntari cannot contain his frustration. A crunching challenge on Clint Dempsey results in a yellow card. The game is slipping away from Ghana.

Five minutes of added time. Is there one last twist to come?

Josh Jackman:, external Ghana do heartbreak like no-one else.

Ricky Michael:, external So cruel at times, football.

James Thompson:, external I looked at the worried look on the Ghana manager's face and knew it was going to be a goal from the corner.
