"When you score the goal the last thing you want to do is give away a cheap corner. That ball is as good as it gets, it drops right in the box and Brooks attacks it like a man who knows if he gets anything on it he's going to score.

"Just get it cleared, give the throw-in away if you need to but this costs you, especially when you've just scored, and there's nothing more frustrating for a team."

"It was the tenacity of Fabian Johnson to win the corner. John Brookes can't believe it, it was a great diving header. He can't believe it, he looks like he has got the winner."

Drama. John Brooks, whose poor defending allowed Ghana to score, heads home from six yards following a corner - his first goal for the USA. Is this the Hollywood ending Jurgen Klinsmann craved?

"It has been coming and it's an incredible goal for Ghana. They will have their eyes on three points now. It was a really clever finish."

"The United States's defender John Brooks just switched off. A fantastic back-heel by Asamoah Gyan and the defenders couldn't get out to close the ball down. A wonderful finish from Andre Ayew."

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Just when the USA thought they had weathered the storm, a superb back-heel by Asamoah Gyan allows Andre Ayew a chance and the Marseille midfielder makes no mistake with a sublime finish with the outside of his foot which beats Tim Howard. What a game.

This game has been played at lightning pace at times so it's little surprise that there are some tired legs. Ghana have gone qiet but you sense they will come again at the USA.

Jenni on text: Kevin-Prince Boateng's introduction from the bench has given this Ghana side a boost. He'll either score or have a hand in a Ghana goal.

"I was surprised Michael Essien didn't' start. He's got quality, he can find passes and can compete physically. Now we'll see what he can bring to the game because Kevin-Prince Boateng has brought something.

"Albert Adomah is a non-League boy like myself so what an opportunity to play for his country in a game like this. He is a box of tricks and he can conjure something out of nothing. The opportunity is there for Ghana."

"The heat and the humidity is now starting to affect some of these USA players."

Cramp is starting to take hold of a few players. Another change for the USA as midfielder Graham Zusi comes on for Alejandro Bedoya. Ghana react by introducing Middlesbrough midfielder Albert Adomah for Christian Atsu.

Sulley Muntari almost opens up the USA defence. We're into the last 15 minutes but this game is far from over. The Stars and Stripes are already running down the clock.

Bob Partridge:, external I think USA will have the discipline to hold out long range efforts won't beat Howard.

Dai:, external The US just need to close the game out, take their time, pass it around the back a bit.

Adam Brooks:, external Boateng has made the world of difference… Was he injured? Why didn't he start?

"Michael Essien's introduction might just let Sulley Muntari push on. Muntari can maybe have more influence with that left foot."

Former Chelsea man and now AC Milan midfielder Michael Essien enters the fray. Huge roar from the Ghana fans, he's got 20 minutes to spark something for the Black Stars. Mohammed Rabiu makes way.

Agonising for the USA this time as Alejandro Bedoya's corner floats right through the box unchallenged and goes out for a goal kick. Jurgen Klinsmann has his head in his hands, all it needed was a touch.

Frustrating from Kevin-Prince Boateng. A lash from 40 yards out sails harmlessly over the bar. Got to be better than that, Kevin.

"Kevin-Prince Boateng has created a spark. He has got the Ghana fans going behind the goal, drums are being banged. Asamoah Gyan has to take one of these chances."

"Kevin-Prince Boateng is someone who can create. He's a bit of a maverick but he will bring something a bit different.

"There's a reason why the USA aren't getting out of their half. It's why you miss someone like Jozy Altidore. It's not just about goals, playing on your own up front is about helping your team and sacrificing yourself and that's not happening for the USA, Aron Johansson has to offer more."

I'm losing count of how many chances Asamoah Gyan has had. The Ghana captain attempts to find the top corner with a curling shot but gets it horribly wrong.

It's raining chances for the Black Stars but they can't make them count. The African drums are banging.
